"Despite her recent defeat at Kempton, British contender Kalpana remains a strong contender for the top spot, according to the Arc supporters."
In the world of horse racing, the stage is set for an exciting showdown as Kalpana, the reigning champion of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, prepares for her second attempt to defend her crown.
Previously, Kalpana was the favourite for the Group 1 event at Kempton, but a surprising defeat at the hands of Group 1 winner Giavellotto has seen her odds pushed out to as big as 14-1, making her Britain's leading hope in the race.
Despite this setback, Kalpana remains determined to compete in the prestigious event. Last year, she carried the Juddmonte colors to victory, a feat that, if repeated, would make her Juddmonte's sixth winner this century in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
Notable previous Juddmonte winners in the race include Rail Link, Workforce, dual heroine Enable, and Bluestocking.
The market for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe is currently headed by Prix Vermeille winner Aventure at 4-1, with Minnie Hauk following closely at 9-2.
Trainer Andrew Balding, who guides Kalpana in her quest, has suggested that she might compete in the Qipco British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes after her defeat at Kempton. However, Kalpana is now staying on course for the Arc.
The Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe will take place at Longchamp, a historic racecourse in Paris, France.
