The ITV cameras head to Doncaster racecourse this month (8th-11th Sept) for the 4-day St Leger Meeting – they will be covering races on Thursday, Friday and Saturday – with races spread across both ITV and ITV4.
As always, here at RACING AHEAD we’ve got it all covered with all the TV race trends and stats – these should help narrow down the fields and also highlight the best profiles of horses that have done well in the races in the past.
It’s St Leger Day at the track this Saturday – the final English Classic of the season. Did you know, 12 of the last 20 St Leger winners were drawn in stalls 5 or higher?
