Cannon monopolised the 1894 Doncaster St Leger meeting.
His wins were as follows:
First Day: -Stand Plate (9 runners), Rowallan, 100/8; Champagne Stakes (5), Solero, 10/1; Great Yorkshire Handicap (16), Bushey Park, 100/12; Doncaster Welter (13), Lumberer, 100/8.

Second Day: - Milton Stakes (7), Newmarket 4/5; St Leger (8), Throstle, 50/1.

Third Day: - Juvenile Selling (10), Queen Saraband, 9/4; Rous Plate (6), Matabele, 100/30; Portland Plate (15), Grey Leg, 8/1; Corporation Selling (10), St Ignatius, 11/8.

He drew a blank on the fourth day but was second in the Doncaster Cup on the 100/6 shot Portland.
 There were 26 races over the four days and Cannon rode in all but five of them yielding ten wins, four seconds, two thirds.
There was almost one more because after dead-heating in the Tattersalls Stakes on The Brook he was beaten in the run-off.

As well as winning most of the principle races the majority of his winners were outsiders and Throstle’s 50/1 victory in the St Leger was sensational.
 He was originally entered as a pacemaker for his more fancied stable mate, Matchbox, but it was Morny’s idea to change tactics and so bring off a memorable success.
 As John Porter, Throstle’s trainer understated, Morny "was in irresistible form."
