Doncaster
As the world has been" told many times before, in the RADIO TIMES and elsewhere, the St. Leger, which nowadays attracts a quarter of a million people to Doncaster every year, originated in a modest sweep-stake of twenty-five guineas proposed by a Colonel Anthony St. Leger in 1776. Only six entrants lined up for the original race, which was quite a minor feature of the usual September Doncaster meeting. The race was not given its present name until 1778.
The St. Leger is the last of the five ' classic ' races of the year, all limited to three-year-olds. It is open to both colts and fillies.
