Kalandagan, running in the Aga Khan colours, also won the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud in his home country, after finishing second earlier in the year in the Coronation Cup and Dubai Sheema Classic.
Runner-up to Champion Stakes Ombudsman, who won the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes and the Juddmonte International, and leading three-year-olds Delacroix and Minnie Hauk are also nominated for the main prize.
Trawlerman, trained by John and Tade Gosden, was named Resident of the Year at the 35th annual awards after four victories this year which included the Gold Cup at Ascot.
The Award of Merit was given to broadcaster and writer Prof Scott.
