The History of the St. Leger Stakes, 1776-1901 is a book written by J. S. Fletcher and published in 1902. The book chronicles the history of the St. Leger Stakes, one of the oldest and most prestigious horse races in the world. The St. Leger Stakes is a flat race for three-year-old thoroughbred horses and is run over a distance of one mile, six furlongs and 115 yards at Doncaster Racecourse in England. The book starts with the origins of the race and its early years, including the first winner, Allabaculia, in 1776. It then goes on to detail the various winners of the race over the years, including their owners, trainers, and jockeys. The book also includes anecdotes and stories about the race and the people involved in it, as well as descriptions of the horses and their performances.The author, J. S. Fletcher, was a prolific writer and journalist who wrote over 200 books in his lifetime. He was also a keen horse racing enthusiast and wrote several books on the subject. The History of the St. Leger Stakes, 1776-1901 is considered one of his most important works and is still widely read and referenced by horse racing enthusiasts and historians today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
