Vickers.Bet, founded by former jockey and trainer Ian Vickers, is the new headline sponsor of the 2023 Leger Legends Race, the Leger Legends Organising Committee announced on Tuesday.
The event is the only British Charity race for former professional jockeys and is held during the annual St Leger Festival in September. Since its inception, over £1 million has been raised for various charities including the National Horseracing College, Jack Berry House, and the Injured Jockeys Fund. Some of the former jockeys signed on for the 2023 edition include Kieren Fallon, Richard Johnson, Davy Russell, and Robbie Power. There is also the Legers Legend Charity Lunch. Tables are available to book for lunch with various sporting personalities and offer the opportunity to bid for lots as a round of golf with AP McCoy, a villa in Turkey, a private yacht and a behind the scenes day at ITV Racing.

Jo Vickers, the daughter of Ian and Managing Director of Vickers.Bet, said, “We are delighted to add this special race to our portfolio of sponsorship in horse racing. Racing is in our blood and it's so important we keep supporting in any way we can.”
