A racecard for the 1913 'Suffragette' Derby won by Mr Percy Cunliffe's Aboyeur, a Dorling's List of Epsom Races printed in Epsom, 8-pages, advertisements to back cover In perhaps the most famous Derby of all, and certainly the most sensational, the suffragette Emily Davison dashed out in front of the King's horse Anmer at Epsom's Tattenham Corner bringing the horse down and dying of her injuries. The race was won, seemingly fair and square, by Craganour who was owned by Bower Ismay, a member of the shipowning family that had become figures of hate through the association of their ship RMS Titanic that had sunk on April 15th the previous year. To compound matters Ismay had an affair with the sister-in-law of the Epsom Steward Eustace Loder. Sensationally, Loder disqualified the winner Craganour, who seemed to be more impeded than the runner-up in the closing stages, and awarded the race to the second-placed horse and 100-1 shot Aboyeur.
