Her Majesty the Queen Would Love Saturday’s St Leger

Her Majesty the Queen Would Love Saturday’s St Leger

The British Horse Racing Authority cancels Thursday evening and all of Friday's scheduled meetings in honour of Her Majesty The Queen. The late monarch was a passionate horse breeder and owner for 70 years. She was also a patron of the Jockey Club and Thoroughbred Breeders Association.

There is a 10-day mourning period. On Friday betting shops owned by Ladbrokes, Paddy Power, Coral, Betfred and William Hill will remain closed. Saturday’s St Leger will go ahead at Doncaster. The Queen won the St. Lege in 1977 with her Oaks winner Dunfermline.

Haskoy won a 12-furlong Listed contest at York three weeks ago. She was injured and unraced as a two-year-old. Her connections paid £50,000 to supplement her into the race. Frankie Dettori will ride her at the weekend. Hasky is 7/1 at some of the UK's best online sportsbooks.
