Just The Judge won the EP Taylor Stakes, while Caspar Netscher took the Nearctic Stakes.
Jamie Spencer, who is due to retire next month, rode Just The Judge to victory for trainer Charlie Hills. The horse will now head to the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf race at Santa Anita on 1 November.
Caspar Netscher, trained by David Simcock, gave 30-year-old Scottish jockey Andrew Mullen the biggest win of his career.
