The St Leger runners 2024 received a boost when trainer Ralph Beckett supplemented this You Got To Me ahead of big English Classic on Saturday 14th September.
St Leger Runners 2024: Irish Oaks Winner You Got To Me Supplemented
Saturday’s St Leger runners 2024 got a shot in the arm ahead of the race with the news this year’s Irish Oaks winner – You Got To Me – will now run.
The Ralph Beckett camp have forked out £50,000 to supplement their star 3 year-old filly, as she didn’t previously have an entry – but with £421,355 on offer to the winner it could be a gamble that pays off.
12 months ago in 2023, the 2nd horse won £159k, the 3rd £79k and the 4th £39k – to give you an idea where You Got Me would need to finish in order to make her supplement worthwhile.
Since her Irish Oaks win at the Curragh in July, she’s had that form reversed by the runner-up that day – who beat her last time in the Yorkshire Oaks at York.
Ralph Beckett No Stranger To Winning The St Leger With A Filly
The good news for her backers with the best horse racing betting sites in the UK is that her trainer Ralph Beckett is no stranger to winning the St Leger with a filly.
He did just that in 2015 when the Qatar Racing-owned Simple Verse took the honours under jockey Andrea Atzeni. That win remains Beckett’s sole success in the Doncaster St Leger.
Prior to Simple Verse, the last filly to win the St Leger was the Gredley-owned User Friendly back in 1992.
Hector Crouch, who rode You Got To Me to win the Irish Oaks earlier this season is expected to take the Doncaster St Leger ride.

Godolphin’s Ancient Wisdom WON’T Run In The 2024 St Leger
Ahead of Saturday’s race, the other news surrounding the St Leger runners 2024 is that Godolphin’s Ancient Wisdom won’t run.
The classy 3 year-old was taken out at the 5 day declaration stage, with connections sightly worried they won’t get the softer ground he prefers.
Trainer Aidan O’Brien Looking For Eighth St Leger Win
Ballydoyle handler Aidan O’Brien has made the St Leger is own in recent years – winning the race seven times – including 12 months ago with Continuous.
He’s back for more in 2024 with another strong hand that includes his recent Great Voltigeur Stakes runner-up Illinois (watch below), who is heading he betting with the best betting sites in the UK.
O’Brien also has Grosvenor Square, Jan Brueghel, Los Angeles and Euphoric entered at this stage, but it’s unlikely they will all figure with other engagements too.
Despite his seven St Leger wins, Aidan O’Brien is still some way off the all-time winning trainer John Scott, who has massive 16 wins in the oldest of the English Classics.
