Boasting a glittering roll of honor comprising some of the most acclaimed horses in history this race is the final leg of the esteemed British ‘Triple Crown’ comprising of three British Classic races – the Newmarket 2000 Guineas the Epsom Derby and finally the Betfred St Leger Stakes. Winning all three Group 1 races is considered the greatest achievement in Thoroughbred horse racing and was last achieved by Nijinsky in 1970.

The St Leger Stakes is open to three-year-old colts and fillies and is run over a mile and six furlongs. With recent previous winners including Kew Gardens Logician and Simple Verse it offers the perfect opportunity to see some of the very best three-year-old horses in action.
