St Leger Runners & Riders  

As one of the biggest races of the season, the runners and riders for the St Leger will go down in British racing history. This is because the race is closing in on 250 years of age, making it the oldest British Classic, ensuring the winner is writing their name on a storied record book.

Below are the runners for the 2025 St Leger at Doncaster:

Which Trainers Have Historically Had the Most Success in the St Leger?

John Scott is comfortably the most successful trainer in the history of the race, and nobody is likely to get anywhere near his tally in the near future. He recorded 16 wins during the 19th Century, so even Aidan O’Brien on six wins has a lot of work to do to get remotely close to that particular haul.

From a jockeys’ perspective, Bill Scott was the brother of John and rode the St Leger winner on nine occasions.
