| The winner won a St Leger full of mishaps. Many of the runners ran below form, while Vesta and Sir Bertrand fell. In a career consisting of 12 races Sancho won 8 of them, including being undefeated in 4 races as a 3 year old. However, many of the four victories at 4 years old were in matches, and he then disappointed as a five year old. | Over Round 105% | ||
