    Some of the jockeys tomorrow:

    Jason Edmunds
    Adrian Nicholls
    William Kennedy
    Russ Kennemore
    Mark Enright
    Megan Nicholls
    Mattie Batchelor

    I know it is for a good cause. But with the best will in the world, isn’t the word “Legends” being stretched to breaking point here?

    No King Arthur, no Merlin – can’t remember any of these “Legends” ever being at Camelot.

    Why is it called Leger Legends?
    The closest any of them got was probably Megan as a pundit.

    There are a few former top jockeys taking part. Davy Russell, Richard Johnson, Seb Sanders etc.

    Maybe it should be called the Veteran Riders Race, instead of trying to make some sort of word association between Leger and Legend.

    I’m just relieved to have got through St Leger week without seeing it spelt “Ledger.”

    It’s probably because I’m swerving great swathes of social media nowadays.

    Doubt Megan N would be keen on being associated with a “veteran rider” event CAS!

    Yes, fair point! She has already had a bad enough week.

    Maybe she’s trying to prove she’s up for the Amo gig :yahoo:

    Sammy Jo Bell must like this race. She rode her third winner in it today. This time at 10/1, after an 11/1 winner in 2022 and 5/1 in 2019.

    Miss Nicholls made a big enough gap for her to come through poor Megan although in good humour she was clearly gutted.
