The Norsk St. Leger is the longest classic at Øvrevoll and is run over 2,800 metres. The roll of honour begins in 1939 with Flaming Comet and continues right up to the present day – most recently with the remarkable detail that If He Says So won the race two years running, in 2024 and 2025.
The table on this page covers every edition (the race was not staged in 1967 and 1968), with colour and pedigree for each winner.
