Durham Town has spent most of his career battling the country's top sprinters and he continues to prove more than a match for most of them.
He served further notice of that at Ellerslie yesterday when he thumped his Group 3 Darley Plate rivals, and not for the first time.
The 7-year-old beat Group 1 winner Vonusti in the 2012 edition, was runner-up the following year and third 12 months ago.
Durham Town has also won the Group 2 Concorde Handicap and the Group 3 Stewards' Stakes.
He has placed five times at the highest level in multiple Railway Stakes and Telegraph appearances for trainers Dean and Donna Logan.
