The '''St Leger Stakes''' is a [[Group races|Group 1]] [[Flat racing|flat]] [[Horse racing|horse race]] in Great Britain open to three-year-old [[thoroughbred]] [[Colt (horse)|colts]] and [[Filly|fillies]]. It is run at [[Doncaster Racecourse|Doncaster]] over a distance of 1 mile, 6 furlongs and 115 yards (2,921 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in September.

Established in 1776, the St Leger is the oldest of Britain's five [[British Classic Races|Classic races]]. It is the last of the five to be run each year, and its distance is longer than any of the other four.

The St Leger is the final leg of the English [[Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing|Triple Crown]], which begins with the [[2000 Guineas Stakes|2000 Guineas]] and continues with the [[Epsom Derby|Derby]]. It also completes the Fillies' Triple Crown, following on from the [[1000 Guineas Stakes|1000 Guineas]] and [[Epsom Oaks|The Oaks]]. The St Leger has rarely featured Triple Crown contenders in recent decades, with the only one in recent years being the 2012 2,000 Guineas and Derby winner [[Camelot (horse)|Camelot]], who finished second in the St Leger.

==History==

===Early years===
The event was devised by [[Anthony St Leger (British Army officer)|Anthony St Leger]], an army officer and politician who lived near Doncaster. It was initially referred to as "A Sweepstake of 25 Guineas", and its original distance was two miles. The rules stipulated that colts and geldings were to carry 8&nbsp;st, and fillies would receive an allowance of 2&nbsp;lb.

The inaugural running was held at Cantley Common on 24 September 1776. The first winner was an unnamed filly owned by the event's organiser, the [[Charles Watson-Wentworth, 2nd Marquess of Rockingham|2nd Marquess of Rockingham]]. The filly was later named [[Allabaculia]].

The title St Leger Stakes was decided at a dinner party held in 1778 at the Red Lion Inn located in the Market Place, Doncaster, to discuss the coming year's race. It was suggested that it should be called the Rockingham Stakes in honour of the host, the Marquess of Rockingham, but the Marquess proposed that it should be named instead after Anthony St Leger.{{sfn|Cawthorne|Herod|1902|p=10-11}} That year the event was moved to its present location, Town Moor, in 1778.<ref>{{cite web | title = Race Courses of Great Britain and Ireland | publisher = tbheritage.com | url = http://www.tbheritage.com/TurfHallmarks/Gazeteer/GazeteerYorks.html | access-date = 17 September 2009 | archive-date = 22 September 2020 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200922130454/http://www.tbheritage.com/TurfHallmarks/Gazeteer/GazeteerYorks.html | url-status = live }}</ref>

The race came to national prominence in 1800, when a horse called [[Champion (horse)|Champion]] registered the first Derby–St Leger double. Its length was cut to 1&nbsp;mile, 6&nbsp;furlongs and 193&nbsp;yards in 1813, and despite some minor alterations has remained much the same ever since. The victory of [[West Australian (horse)|West Australian]] in 1853 completed the first success in the Triple Crown.

===Post-1900===
The St Leger Stakes was closed to geldings in 1906. It was transferred to [[Newmarket Racecourse|Newmarket]] during World War I, and the substitute event was called the September Stakes. It was cancelled in 1939 because of the outbreak of World War II, and the following year's edition was held at [[Thirsk Racecourse|Thirsk]] in November. For the remainder of this period it was staged at [[Manchester Racecourse|Manchester]] (1941), Newmarket (1942–44) and [[York Racecourse|York]] (1945).

The race was switched to [[Ayr Racecourse|Ayr]] in 1989 after the scheduled running at Doncaster was abandoned due to subsidence. The 2006 race took place at York because its regular venue was closed for redevelopment.

The St Leger Stakes has inspired a number of similar events around the world, although many are no longer restricted to three-year-olds. European variations include the [[Irish St. Leger]], the [[Prix Royal-Oak]], the [[Deutsches St. Leger]] and the [[St. Leger Italiano]]. Other national equivalents include the [[Kikuka-shō]], the [[New Zealand St. Leger]] and the [[VRC St Leger]].
