What was the name of the horse that trampled Emily Davison at Epsom?
Emily Wilding Davison was an influential British suffragette who, on June 4, 1913, suffered fatal injuries after being knocked down by a horse during the running of the Derby at Epsom. The horse in question was Anmer, owned by King George V, the paternal grandfather of Queen Elizabeth II, and ridden by Herbert ‘Bertie’ Jones.
Exactly what Davison intended is unclear, but footage of the incident shows her ducking under the running rail as the field rounded Tattenham Corner and reaching up, as if to grasp the bridle of the Royal runner. The identity of the horse may, or may not, have been a coincidence and she may have simply been trying to attach a suffragist flag or ribbon. In any event, Davison was flattened, suffering a fractured skull, while Anmer turned a complete somersault on Jones, knocking him unconscious.
Davison, 41, was admitted to Epsom Cottage Hospital in a ‘very serious condition’, but died from here injuries four days later without regaining consciousness. The ‘Daily Sketch’ described Davison as the ‘First Martyr for Votes for Women’, but whether or not she intended to sacrifice herself for the suffragist cause has been hotly debated ever since. The presence of an expensive return train ticket in her handbag suggests not, but her earlier attempts at martyrdom in prison suggest that suicide may not have been entirely out of the question.
For most beginners or non-betting people, betting is simply a prediction of the outcome of a particular event. People think you can only bet on the win or loss of a specific team. However, the world of betting is much richer and more interesting. There are different types and betting markets. Let’s learn 
The state of the ground, or going, on a racecourse is often a determining factor in where, when and how well racehorses run. Soft going is deep, moist and slightly muddy, thereby presenting a challenge that some horses relish, but others absolutely detest. However, there are several ways you can tell, or least make an educated guess, that a horse acts on soft going. In order of efficacy, they are its previous performances on the racecourse, its pedigree, its confirmation and gait and, last, but by no means least, the size of its feet!
Owned by Brian Kearney, trained by Jessica Harrington, in Moone, Co. Kildare and ridden, in all bar six of his 44 races, by Barry Geraghty, Moscow Flyer was an outstanding two-mile steeplechaser in the years following the turn of the millennium. The son of Moscow Society, from the family of Nijinsky, was no slouch over hurdles, winning seven of his 12 starts over the smaller obstacles, including three at Grade 1 level. Nevertheless, it was over fences that Moscow Flyer became what his trainer described as a ‘once in a lifetime horse’, winning 19 of his 28 steeplechases, including 10 at Grade 1 level, and just over £1 million in prize money in that sphere alone.
