The St Leger is an original classic greyhound competition.[1]


It was run at Wembley Stadium from 1928 until 1998 but when the Wembley Greyhounds ended it moved to moved to Wimbledon Stadium in 1999.[2] The race is considered to be the premier stayers (between 500 and 700 metres) competition in greyhound racing.[3]


The competition came to an end at Wimbledon after the 2016 running before being switched to GRA sister track Perry Barr.[4] The prize money has reduced in recent times due to financial issues in 2010 and the loss of a Sky TV contract more recently.[5][6]
