Download Golf King Battle: The Excitement of the Betfred St Leger

The Betfred St Leger is a prestigious racing event that has been taking place for over two centuries, making it one of the oldest and most esteemed Classics in the world. As the culmination of the Flat season, this race has attracted some of the best horses and jockeys from around the globe, all vying for the coveted title.

Tom Marquand, a young and talented jockey, is no stranger to big wins, having broken his Classic duck in this very race just last year. His victory on Big Evs was an unexpected one, coming as it did after Irish jockey Galileo Chrome's last-minute withdrawal due to Covid-19 restrictions.

Marquand has been looking forward to the Leger for some time now, and his experience in the Voltigeur Stakes will serve him well. He rode Arrest, a horse proven on soft ground, to victory despite being initially booked to ride Gregory.

The saying 'the fastest horse wins the Guineas, the luckiest wins the Derby - and the best wins the Leger' is an old one, but it holds true for this intriguing contest. The top six horses in the betting are all viable contenders, making it impossible to predict a clear winner.

Frankie Dettori, a legendary jockey seeking his seventh Leger win, has had plenty of time to think about his chances on Desert Hero, a colt already having made a significant impact with wins at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood while representing the King and Queen's colors. But Dettori will need to be at the top of his game if he is to spoil the party by winning the St Leger.

The 247th Betfred St Leger promises to be an unforgettable event, with some of the best horses and riders in the world competing for the prestigious title. Will Desert Hero make it a memorable win for the Royal family, or will another contender emerge to claim victory? One thing is certain - this race will go down in history as one of the most thrilling and competitive Leger contests yet.
