Despite not clocking the fastest closing 600m or 200m English still managed to grab victory in the 2016 Group 1 All Aged Stakes.
Settling back in the field last, Kermadec ran the fastest last 600m with Black Heart Bart getting to the line well for the fastest final 200m.
Seemingly the race was won for English and Sam Clipperton between the 400m and 200m when running 10.99 for that sectional split on the back of a 11.50 between the 600m and 400m.
A quick early tempo set by El Sicario ensured a slow run home in the 2016 Group 1 Champagne Stakes with the kiwi galloper running a blistering 10.57 between the 1400-1200m.
With fitness on his side, Prized Icon was able to get to the line the better in what was the slowest final 600m and 200m of the day.
The fastest of the day came in the Hall Mark Stakes off a slow tempo with Fast ‘N’ Rocking running the final 600m in 33.78 followed by Federal running the final 200m in 11.49.
Fastest 600m and 200m splits per race.
