The Irish St Leger is a Group 1 over about a mile and three quarters at the Curragh, open to three-year-olds and older and run at the Irish Champions Festival. The 2011 running was a dead heat.
Who has won the Irish St Leger?
The roll of honour lists every Irish St Leger winner since 1990 with SP, age, weight, trainer, jockey and owner. Winners on the list include Vinnie Roe, Kayf Tara, Yeats, Kyprios and Vintage Crop.
What do the Irish St Leger trends show?
17 of the 37 Irish St Leger winners since 1991 had run in Britain or Ireland within the previous 30 days, the most common gap, and 32 of the 37 had finished in the first three on their previous run. The trends table also splits runners by official rating, level and course of the last run, with winners, runners and win % for each group.

D K Weld leads the Irish St Leger trainers with 9 wins and Ryan Moore leads the riders with 5. Both tables show runners, strike rate and the year of each name's last win.
