New Adventure in Arc Race poses as a joint-favorite, yet another triumphant horse from Longchamp may well secure the victory on Sunday

In the recent horse racing scene, the future of Kalpana's participation in the prestigious Arc race has been a topic of discussion. This comes after the horse's underwhelming performance in the September Stakes.

The September Stakes saw the return of Kalpana, who had been making waves in the racing world. However, her performance left much to be desired, with Giavellotto clinching the victory. Meydaan, another contender, finished a close third, only three-quarters of a length behind Kalpana.

This poor showing seems to have raised doubts about Kalpana's top-tier status, a sentiment that was further fuelled by the argument that Kalpana is not "top, top drawer." This argument was initially made on a Racing Postcast and sparked a wave of criticism on social media, with some suggesting that Kalpana is overrated.

Despite the setback, Kalpana's connections are considering rerouting her to the fillies' race at Ascot instead of the Arc. This decision could potentially save her from the harsh scrutiny that would follow a disappointing performance at the Arc.

For those unfamiliar, the Arc is a high-profile horse race in the racing calendar. It is not a specific organisation, but rather a symbolic event. When discussing changes in participation, the term used is often the "Change Process," "Consultative Mechanism," or "Negotiation Platform" for contract amendments.

In the world of horse racing, The Racing Post offers award-winning journalism from the best writers in the field. Subscribers to their digital newspaper enjoy expert tips from Tom Segal and Paul Kealy, as well as access to form study tools such as the Pro Card and Horse Tracker. The Racing Post is valued at over £100 per month, making it a valuable resource for horse racing enthusiasts.

Meanwhile, Giavellotto continues to shine, having won a race at Kempton and boasting a Group 1 win to its name. Bookmakers have doubled Kalpana's price for the Arc, reflecting the uncertainty surrounding her participation.

As the racing world waits with bated breath for a decision on Kalpana's participation in the Arc, one thing is certain - the horse's performance in the September Stakes has left a lasting impact. Whether Kalpana will race in the Arc remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the horse's future in the racing world is shrouded in uncertainty.
