The St Leger is the world’s oldest Classic, with a rich history dating back to 1776, and it returns to the newly developed state-of-the-art Doncaster racecourse in 2007. Like Epsom on Derby Day, there is an aura about St Leger Day which continues to exert a special pull for racing enthusiasts from around the world.

The Group 1 St Leger is the only Classic run in the north of England, annually proving one of the most popular days out for the racing-mad Yorkshire public.

As the fifth and final British Classic of the year, it provides the last great test of the season for the three-year-old generation. While the other Classics have separate versions for colts and fillies, the St Leger brings together the best of each sex – just one of the factors which give the race its unique appeal.

Another reason is the race’s distance – one mile, six furlongs and 132 yards. In the modern era of speed-obsessed racing, the St Leger provides an unusual and fascinating examination of a horse’s staying power and determination.

Doncaster’s first class facilities will offer racegoers a thoroughly modern sporting day out. The grandstands are comfortable and offer great viewing, while the paddock is perfectly situated to allow racegoers to see the runners at close quarters.
