Jerry (St Leger winner) Jerry (St Leger winner) Jerry (1821 – c. 1845) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire best known for winning the classic St Leger Stakes in 1824. In a racing career which lasted from 1824 until 1827 he ran ten times and won five races. Unraced as a two-year-old, he was beaten on his first appearance in 1824 but then won the York St Leger and the XYZ Stakes at Newcastle before defeating twenty-two opponents in the St Leger at Doncaster. Jerry missed the entire 1825 season and showed little worthwhile form in 1826, but won twice as a six-year-old
Stradbroke Handicap track record is 1:20.2 established by Toledo in 1998. Between 1982 and 1988 the race was known as the Elders Handicap. In 1890 the Stradbroke Handicap was a Principal race run over six furlongs (~1,200m), when it was won by Pyrrhus. The distance was changed in 1953 to 7 furlongs and in 1972 to the current distance of 1,400 metres. Due to track reconstruction of Eagle Farm Racecourse for the 2014–15 racing season the event is transferred to Doomben Racecourse over a slightly shorter distance of 1350 metres.
