Of her 27 starts, 25 have been at Group Level, including starts in 16 Group 1's, 9 Group 2's as well as competing in the inaugural running of The Everest in 2017. Highlights of her career include:

2015 1st Group 2 Reisling Stakes
2nd Group One Golden Slipper

2016 1st Group 2 Challenge Stakes
1st Group 1 All Aged Stakes

2017 1st Group 2 Challenge Stakes
2nd Group 1 TJ Smith Stakes
2nd Group 2 Premiere Stakes

2018 1st Group 1 Doomben 10,000
2nd Group 1 Galaxy Stakes

English was duly crowned Champion 2YO and 3YO Filly and throughout her career she has beaten home some of Australia's elite Group 1 winners such as Redzel, Impending, Le Romain, Kermadec, In Her Time, Chautauqua, Clearly Innocent, Black Hart Bart, Rebel Dane, Press Statement, Malaguerra, to name but a few.

English had been aimed towards the 2018 The Everest in the Jadeskye Racing slot, however, a decision was made last week that it was not in the best interests of the mare to run in the $13 million-dollar race.

English will retire to Newhaven Park where she will be a valued addition to the broodmare band, alongside her dam Court (Anabaa) and half-sister, Puzzle (Shamardal). She will be covered this season by Yarraman Park's Champion Sire I Am Invincible.

Footnote: Whilst one door closes, another door opens – Paris, the half-sister to English who is by hot young sire Snitzel, impressed in her trial debut this morning, running 2nd in the fastest of the 2YO heats at Warwick Farm. The filly is owned by Newhaven Park, in partnership with Peter Moody, and is trained by Clarry Conners.
