Bred and retained to race by the Kelly family, English was the Champion 2YO and 3YO Filly of her time winning six races and $3.4million with highlight wins in the BRC Ten Thousand and ATC All Aged Stakes.

The daughter of Encosta de Lago had a troubled start to her stud career with a miss and a slip in her first two seasons before hitting the jackpot on the third try with this stunning colt by I Am Invincible that was purchased by Kia Ora/ TFI/ Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott.
