Antique Print of the Winning Horse 'Barefoot' and a Jockey 'c.1840'
About the Item
Antique horse print titled 'Barefoot, the winner of the Great St. Leger at Doncaster, 1823'. This aquatint print shows a winning horse and jockey of the Great St. Leger Stakes at Doncaster. Army officer, MP for Grimsby (1768–74) and racing enthusiast Anthony St Leger (c.1731-1786) had his own racecourse at his Park Hill estate in Firbeck, South Yorkshire. In 1776, St Leger proposed a race with a 25 guinea sweepstake for three-year-old horses, run over 2 miles. The first race, held on Cantley Common outside Doncaster, was won by a horse owned by Charles Watson-Wentworth, second Marquess of Rockingham (Prime Minister in 1765-66 and 1782). When it was later suggested that the race should be named after him, Rockingham reportedly replied: ‘No, it was my friend St Leger who suggested the thing to me - name it after him’. The St Leger stakes is still run annually at Doncaster racecourse and is one of five British classic flat races.
