KINGSTON, Jamaica - For the first time in many, many moons, the 10-furlong (2,000 metres) Jamaica St Leger will be run before the Jamaica Derby.
The running order of the five Classic has therefore changed to 1000 & 2000 Guineas, the Jamaica Oaks, the Jamaica St Leger and finally the Jamaica Derby.
This year’s edition of the St Leger is set to take place on Saturday, September 26 at Caymanas Park.
