You're invited to experience all the excitement, prestige, and festival-feels at one of the best and most highly-anticipated horse racing festivals in the country. Taking place over four days, the famous Doncaster Betfred St Leger Festival features the final Classic of the revered British Flat racing season – the Group 1 St Leger Stakes. Saturday's Betfred St Leger Day is one of the must-attend UK horse racing fixtures of the year.
Along with witnessing history-in-the-making when the runners and riders enter the stalls to compete in the world's oldest Classic, expect to experience a social occasion and atmosphere like nothing else.
This is THE pinnacle of Doncaster events to attend in 2025. The city flocks to experience all the drama and showmanship you'd expect from an event of this calibre. But it's not only the proud Yorkshire folk that won't want to miss any of the action – the eyes of the world will be on Doncaster Racecourse for this epic moment in the British Flat horse racing calendar.
This fixture is one of the 162 Premier Racedays across British horseracing that showcase the best quality racing in the sport. Expect to see high-quality racing!
The highlight of the four-day festival, the Group 1 Betfred St Leger Stakes, attracts some of the leading trainers and horses from across the country.
Boasting a glittering roll of honour comprising some of the most acclaimed horses in history, this race is the final leg of the esteemed British 'Triple Crown' comprising three British Classic races – the Newmarket 2000 Guineas, the Epsom Derby, and finally, the Betfred St Leger Stakes. Winning all three Group 1 races is considered the greatest achievement in Thoroughbred horse racing and was last achieved by Nijinsky in 1970.
The St Leger Stakes is open to three-year-old colts and fillies and is run over a mile and six furlongs. With previous winners including Kew Gardens, Logician, and Simple Verse, it offers the perfect opportunity to see some of the very best three-year-old horses in action.
Jan Brueghel and Sean Levey were triumphant for Aiden O'Brien in a dominant display to win the St Leger Stakes in 2024. Who will win the final Classic of 2025? 🤔
