Saint Leger
horse race
Saint Leger, one of the English Triple Crown races and, with the Derby, the Two Thousand Guineas, the One Thousand Guineas, and the Oaks, one of the Classic horse races. The race was established by Colonel Barry Saint Leger in 1776 and was named for him in 1778. An event for three-year-old colts and fillies, it is run annually in September at Doncaster, Yorkshire. The Saint Leger was a 2-mile (3.2-kilometre) race until 1813 but was subsequently reduced to its present length of about 1.75 miles (2,800 m).
Winners of the Saint Leger are provided in the table.
