This Day in History: 2008-09-13

Irish trainer Aidan O’Brien became the first trainer in 73 years to sweep of all five Irish Classics when Septimus powered to a 13-length triumph in the Irish Field St. Leger at the Curragh. Jack Rogers in 1935 was the last trainer to saddle winners of Ireland’s 1000 and 2000 Guineas, Derby, Oaks and St Leger in the same season.
