Phosphorus (horse)

[edit]

Phosphorus, winner of the 1837 Epsom derby. Painting by John Frederick Herring, Senior (1795-1865).

  • ... that Phosphorus (pictured) sprained a leg and was rejected by his jockey shortly before winning the 1837 Derby Stakes, during which he aggravated his injury and did not race again that year?
