| A feature of this race was that it drew the highest field in the St Leger at that time. In a scrappy, slow run race there was a charge in the final furlong with the winner prevailing by a length. The winner won his first 4 races as a three year old, the last of which was the St Leger. However, in a career spanning 10 races, he only won 2 of his last 6 races. | Over Round 120% | ||
