According to the Fitmin Turf website, the 2018 Austrian St Leger meeting at Freudenau racecourse in Vienna has been cancelled. The races were to have taken place on September 16^th. The reason given for the cancellation is the withdrawal of the sponsor.

The stylish Freudenau racecourse is nowadays used as a film set, for society weddings, for conferences, etc., and a few racehorses continue to be trained there. For a report on last year’s St Leger day at Freudenau, see http://www.dostihovy-svet.cz/en/node/7814.
