The reason Sea the Stars will not contest the St Leger is that he isn’t truly bred to stay; he would be beaten and that might affect his stud value. It seems pointless to enter a horse that is not suited to the distance.
It is ridiculous that breeders shun winners of the St Leger. Though as the race has lost its status many poor horses, that were only stayers have prevailed.
It will be interesting to see if breeders shun the services of Conduit, who has also won a Breeders Cup & will probably go onto great things this summer, purely for the fact he won a St Leger. Quite a few recent Derby winners would have won a St Leger if they had competed, they were bred to stay; the whole fashion thing is ridiculous.
I hope that owners will attempt the Triple Crown in the future, with the right horses. Our racing programme is much more varied & interesting than that of the USA. We need to respect this and use it not make racing the whole world over uniform & dull.
Food used to be all right at Market Rasen, though it’s some time since I’ve been there and I never had the bony fish. They used to do home made pies & pork barms. Is it still ok?
There is a list on here:
