DONCASTER ST LEGER 1781

The 6th winner of the St Leger, held on Wednesday 26th September 1781 over the 2 miles of Town Moor, was Serina, a bay filly by Goldfinder out of a dam by Squirrel, owned by Colonel William Radcliffe. A field of 9 runners contested the race, although there were 13 subscriptions of 25 guineas each, which was worth 325 Guineas. (Equivalent to £56,200 in 2017)

The winner was an unfancied outsider for the race and in 1782 ran in a £50 Plate at Doncaster, finishing second in the first heat and fourth in the second heat. It was generally thought that her victory in the St Leger was a fluke.     Over Round N/A
