Ludwig Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 In the UK it's a time honoured prestigious race. Here it's a rather poor non event. Just 9 starters, and early on in the day. It's been like this for some time. Can anything be done to revive it, energize it, or is this just another fizzer? Quote
Chief Stipe Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 "Marketers" have stuffed up all the race scheduling. The omen bet in the St. Leger would have to be Glory Days. That aside the Cuddle Stakes field isn't great. The Guineas looks a good field. 1 Quote

Freda Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 The indecent haste to use sires of 'fast' horses has eroded our once proud tradition of the classic/staying horse. Races like the St Leger become irrelevant. Quote
