St Leger Stakes 2011 Odds and News
12 Sep 2010: Arctic Cosmos Wins St. Leger Stakes
The winner of the St. Leger Stakes, Arctic Cosmos, gave his connections a reason to celebrate with his outstanding performance at Doncaster this weekend. Arctic Cosmos held his own as an outsider in an amazing field of runners, largely due to the excellent leadership and skill of jockey William Buick.

Arctic Cosmos was not considered a strong contender for the final 2010 British Classics title, neither by bookmakers nor by punters – the colt’s entry in the St. Leger Stakes was overshadowed by the buzz around the favourites Rewilding, Midas Touch and Snow Fairy. Even as the race was in progress, spectators paid little attention to Arctic Cosmos, who was held up in the mid field, seemingly unable to make a break.
The St. Leger Stakes was dominated from the off by Mark Johnston-trained Corsica, who was travelling well under jockey J. Fanning. The colt was tracked closely by Total Command under Ryan Moore and Ted Spread under Darren Holland. However, when the St. Leger Stakes hit the final two furlongs, the leading trio came under heavy attack by the remainder of the field of ten.
Buick proved himself a true champion jockey on Arctic Cosmos, leading his mount to the lead with one furlong to go and giving him the okay to let loose. The final stretch saw a brief duel between Arctic Cosmos and St. Leger co-favourite Midas Touch, which saw Arctic Cosmos pulling away and extending his lead to the winning margin of 1 ¾ lengths. Former leader Corsica was working hard to keep up with the front runners and was rewarded by a valiant third place in the final British Classic race.
Snow Fairy, another St. Leger Stakes favourite, came home fourth – a pleasing result according to trainer Ed Dunlop, as the filly is not technically a stayer. The much championed Rewilding ended up in a disappointing sixth place under jockey Frankie Dettori, leaving trainer Mahmood Al Zarooni concerned for the colt’s health.
