As a bettor, you place a wager on a horse that you find the most likely to win. If your prediction is correct, you will be eligible for a payout proportional to the offered odds and your stake size. Beginners are often recommended to start with this bet to learn how odds work.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Place:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This betting market aims to predict if a horse will finish the race in the winning top. The number of winning places ranges between two and four, depending on the number of runners before the start. What works in your favour is that you don\u2019t have to predict the exact place your horse will take, so you bet at a lower risk. A strong contender also has a better chance of being placed than winning the race.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Each Way:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This betting market allows you to place two different bets on the same horse in one race. The first is a win bet, while the other is a place bet. Since they are considered two different bets, your stake will double. But if the horse wins, you will get a payout on both stakes. If the horse is placed, you will lose your win stake but are still eligible for a payout on your place stake.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Forecast\/Tricast:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This betting market allows you to predict the first two (forecast) or three (tricast) horses to come to the finish line. Your stake remains the same in both cases because it is considered a single wager. The straight version requires you to correctly predict the order in which all horses will come to the finish line, while the reverse forecast and combination tricast only require you to predict the names, allowing the horses to finish in any order within the winning top. In both cases, if a horse falls behind, you will lose even if the others finish the race as predicted.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Betfred St Leger Festival Racecard<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The St Leger Festival 2026 will be conducted in the second week of September and last for four days.

The most prominent ones are the May Hill Stakes and the Flying Childers Stakes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>May Hill Stakes (Thursday, 10 September)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The May Hill Stakes is a Group 2 flat horse race that accepts fillies aged two years. It is run over a distance of 1 mile (1,609 metres).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was established in 1976 and named after a successful contemporary filly. It was originally classified as Group 3 and later promoted to Group 2 in 2003.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of the age limit, there are no repeated participants and, correspondingly, winners in this race.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most successful jockey is Frankie Dettori with 6 wins (Calando 1998, Teggiano 1999, White Moonstone 2010, Lyric of Light 2011, Indigo Girl 2020, Inspiral 2021).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The undefeated leader among trainers is Sir Henry Cecil with 12 wins (Formulate 1978, Bright Crocus 1982, Ever Genial 1984, Laluche 1986, Intimate Guest 1987, Tessla 1988, Rafha 1989, Midnight Air 1991, Solar Crystal 1995, Reams of Verse 1996, Midnight Line 1997, Half Glance 2001).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The latest winner in 2025 was a 2 year old chestnut filly Aylin. This was the second win of her debut season. Before the May Hill Stakes, she participated in the Tatler British EBF Maiden Fillies\u2019 Stakes during the Goodwood Festival in July. She hasn\u2019t participated in any races since the start of the 2026 season. Aylin was trained by Karl Burke and led on the track by jockey David Egan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, there are 11 runners announced to compete in this year\u2019s race, but this number may change before the day of the race. Some of the jockeys for the race have already been announced, others are still awaiting confirmation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The current full list of contenders, their jockeys and trainers runs as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ballyskeagh (age 2, jockey unconfirmed, trainer Joseph O\u2019Brien)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beguiled (age 2, jockey unconfirmed, trainer John &amp; Thady Gosden)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eabha (age 2, jockey Charles Bishop, trainer Eve Johnson Houghton)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Martinet (age 2, jockey Luke Morris, trainer Sir Mark Prescott)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Musical Times (age 2, jockey William Buick, trainer Charlie Appleby)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scommessa Sicura (age 2, jockey Oisin Murphy, trainer Andrew Balding)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sea Of Rain (age 2, jockey unconfirmed, trainer Jim Bolger)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speckles (age 2, jockey unconfirmed, trainer Aidan O\u2019Brien)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tall Trees (age 2, jockey Jamie Spencer, trainer Brian Meehan)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thuritha (age 2, jockey unconfirmed, trainer D M Simcock)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tie A Navyribbon (age 2, jockey Josephine Gordon, trainer W Stone)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><strong>Flying Childers Stakes (Friday, 11 September)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Flying Childers Stakes is a Group 2 flat horse race that accepts both male and female horses aged two years. It is run over a distance of 5 furlongs and 3 yards (1,008 metres).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was established in 1967 and originally carried the name of Norfolk Stakes. The rebranding took place in 1973, when the race took the name of a famous 18th century racehorse bred near Doncaster. Initially a Group 1 race, it was downgraded to Group 2 in 1979.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The age limit prevents runners from entering the race more than once during their career, that\u2019s why there are no repeated winners on the record.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frankie Dettori holds the title of the leading jockey with 6 wins (Howick Falls 2003, Fleeting Spirit 2007, Sand Vixen 2009, Gutaifan 2015, Ardad 2016, A\u2019ali 2019).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most successful trainer is Sir Michael Stoute with 5 wins (Music Maestro 1977, Marwell 1980, Green Desert 1985, Raah Algharb 1994, Saddad 2001).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The latest winner in 2025 was a 2 year old chestnut filly Revival Power. This was the third win of her debut season. The other two included the Julia Graves Roses Stakes at the York Racecourse in August and the Marion Gibson Brown Memorial &#8211; Irish EBF Maiden Fillies\u2019 Stakes at the Thirsk Racecourse in May. Since the start of the 2026 season she has run in 4 races, with the highest outcome being the seventh place in the British Stallion Studs EBF Westow Stakes at the York Racecourse in May. Revival Power was trained by Tim Easterby and led on the track by jockey Oisin Murphy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, there are 13 runners announced to compete in this year\u2019s race, but this number may change before the day of the race.
