Formscan - CALANDAGAN didn't appreciate testing conditions in the Coronation Cup, but the brilliant gelding put that behind him to record a narrow success in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud. Francis Henri-Graffard's charge is arguably a more durable animal than he was when winning this 12 months ago and, despite having to contend with a four-strong Aidan O'Brien assault headed by Irish Derby winner Benvenuto Cellini, the son of Gleneagles can emerge victorious. Stable companion and another former winner of this contest Goliath was very unfortunate in the Hardwicke and is more than capable, and so is Japanese raider Masquerade Ball, who was only beaten a head by Calandagan in the Japan Cup.

Quotes on Minnie Hauk (IRE)
We thought we'd be sitting second and Dylan got the second position so Ryan had to make a decision, he was either going to sit second on Dylan's inside, in behind Wayne, or pull back out of it in a way that he wouldn't have been boxed in. Obviously that's a decision Ryan had to make quickly and it was the right decision. It wasn't over-fast. We knew Joseph's filly was a good filly and Dylan gave her a very good ride. Ryan was very happy. He was out so he could go whenever he wanted. You couldn't be happier. She's one of those fillies that you're probably never going to see the best of her until the tempo is very strong and very high. She cruises through her races. The boss (John Magnier) asked Ryan where to go with her and he said to go to the Yorkshire Oaks. The boss said 'what about if we give her a break and train her for the Vermeille and give her a French Arc prep?'. All those things are open and we'll see how she is. I think she can do either of those things but if she's going to the French trial she'd have to have a couple of easy weeks. Obviously if she's going to York she wouldn’t have those couple of easy weeks. She had a very easy race today, I'd say. The tempo wasn't very strong so she should come out of it well. I'd imagine in the next week or that we'll have a fair idea but they are her two options. Looking at her she'd probably love York. She has a big stride and it's a Flat track too. Obviously the boss will decide with Derek and Michael.
