The South Yorkshire village of Firbeck has installed a new bronze sculpture to commemorate its connection to Anthony St Leger, the 18th-century innovator who helped establish the world's oldest Classic horse race. While the race itself moved to Doncaster in 1778, the artwork serves as a permanent reminder of the village's role in the early history of the sport.
