Fifth time lucky for Calandagan as he sweeps aside Aventure for Group 1 breakthrough

Calandagan finally made his breakthrough in Group 1 company when running out the impressive winner of the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud.

The four-year-old's resolution had been questioned in some quarters after he chased home Jan Brueghel in the Coronation Cup at Epsom, his fourth consecutive second at Grade 1 level.

Chilled Sunday 

For the first time in ten years, and for the very first time as a trainer, Richard Hughes is a Group 1 winner. For his countless friends and admirers, precious few of whom will have backed  his 66-1 heroine of the July Cup , it was a moment that gladdened the heart. For the man himself,  No Half Measures's  triumph was the realisation of a dream that had endured for a decade and almost fizzled out.There was a widespread belief last year's 2,000 Guineas hero Notable Speech would cope with the drop in trip and land Europe's premier sprint. Class will out was the reason given for confidence in the favourite's claims. Class will out is just one of the reasons why Hughes has broken his Group 1 hoodoo.
