'Secrets of a Suffragette'
8.00pm C4 Sunday
May 26th
Emily Wilding Davison, the daughter of Charles Davison
(1822–1893) and Margaret Caisley Davison (1848–1918), was born at at Roxburgh House, Vanbrugh
Park Road , Greenwich on 11th October, 1872.
After attending Kensington
High School (1885–91) she won a place
at Royal Holloway College to study
literature but two years later she was forced to leave after her recently
widowed mother was unable to find the £20 a term fees.
Emily joined the Women's Social and
Political Union in 1906. She gradually became more and more involved in
WSPU activities and in June 1908, was one of the chief stewards at a WSPU
demonstration in London.
The following year Emily gave up full-time teaching so that she could devote
more of her time to the WSPU. Emily also became involved with the Workers' Educational
Association.
THIS EVENING'S DOCUMENTARY “The footage of suffragette Emily Wilding
Davison apparently throwing herself under the king’s horse at the 1913 Epsom
Derby is still harrowing and haunting.
Davison, a governess turned militant campaigner, became a martyr and the images
of her being trampled under foot by thundering hooves, her hat cart wheeling across
the course, are seared on a nation’s memory.
But Clare Balding wonders if Emily really intended to
commit suicide as one, last desperate act in the fight for votes for women.
She’s undergone nine brutal prison sentences where she was
subjected to the unspeakable barbarism
of force-feeding.
After forensic experts re-examined newsreel footage taken
from three different angles, Balding’s mouth drops open in shock as Davison’s
real intentions became painfully clear. AG
Racing Post Monday May 20 Steve Dennis recounts the tragic
events of the infamous Derby
“ALMOST exactly 100 years ago, a 40-year-old woman stood
among the Derby Day throng at Tattenham Corner, waiting for the horses to come
by. She wasn’t interested in the form, she wasn’t bothered about a bet.
Instead, she was planning to do something to make everyone take notice,
something to make her name resound around the world.
“Her plan was certainly successful, although not in the way
she had imagined. As the leading runners sped by, Emily Wilding Davison stepped
under the running rail, into the path of the chasing group, into the pages of
history."
J Margaret Clarke Turfcall Comment
Clare unearths the horrific sinister barbaric cruel predicament
that Emily Wilding Davison and her associates found themselves to be in,
following their school day’s, over approximately the years 1887 - 1913 and how bravely they went about tackling such
a predicament. Finding even worse cruelty as they battled for the human rights
of the female of the species. The horrific wars however interrupted the female fight to vote, and to have equal status with the male of the species.
The British Establishment Powers That Be in 2013 within the British
Political System, the British Legal Justice System, the British Horseracing
Government, the Church of England, World Banks, the Police and the Prisons. What have all
these parties got to say about any of this, one hundred years on? These Powers that Be are all found to be wedged,
in the horrific barbaric past. Holding
the people of Britain
The female of the species considered unworthy of a life at
all by the male of the species (British Powers that Be) in the years from 1872
throughout to 1913 and on throughout to date 2013, has much changed? One is
left to wonder. How have the last one hundred years been for the female of the
species? And since all the wars following Emily’s death in June 1913, how has
it been for the male of the species as well, sent out to fight in totally
horrific circumstances. How can any living beings be expected by ‘the Powers
that Be’ to live throughout all that terror? The ‘British Powers That Be’ today have many
questions to answer all need to be called to account over their shockingly
cruel evil working practices.

"With the number of questions
from readers building up, many about the Derby
Dear
Sir
If
there are winning distances of a head, a short- head and a nose, why isn't
there one of a short-nose?
Dear Mr P Edant
Good
point I've put your question to the BHA. Evidently it's to do with the suicide
rate.
Dear Sir
Every time I turn the racing on, my
boyfriend turns the television off. What should I do?
Dear
Lucy
Change
bedrooms.
Dear Sir
I am doing a quiz and wondering if
you could help me. How many Epsom Derby winners has Sir Michael Stoute trained?
Dear
Quizist
It's
a tricky question. Sir Michael Stoute has trained three Derby winners, Kris Kin
(2003) North Light (2004) and Workforce (2010). His elder brother, also
Michael, but not knighted, won two, with Shergar (1981) and Shahrastani (1986).
Good Luck!
Dear Sir
I have always wanted to meet Lord
Derby because I live in Derby
Dear
CLot
No
it isn't. There's Northumberland and the Duke of Northumberland, both named
after the Northumberland Plate. And, no, I couldn't.
Dear Sir
A few years ago they cut the
distance of the French Derby to just over a mile and a quarter. Do you think
they should do the same to the Epsom Derby? Vive De Gaulle! Vive La France
Dear
General de Gaulle (deceased) Personally I don't think so, but Jim Bolger might
be quite keen on the idea, if only for one year.
Dear Sir
I'm so excited. I've arranged to
take Wednesday off work to go to the Derby London
Dear
A Diluvian
You'll
find it much changed and won't need to allow any more time than any other
weekday. I hope you enjoy your trip.
Dear Sir
I write for a student magazine.
They have agreed to let me interview a trainer and jockey for a feature but the
article can only be 200 words long, which is ridiculous. Is there any way round
this problem?
Dear
Alan
Yes,
Sir Michael Stoute and Ryan Moore.
Dear Sir
If Joseph O'Brien chooses to ride
Battle Of Marengo, why do you prefer Ruler Of The World?
Dear
Aidan
That's
a very good question, one that I've asked myself several times. It's to do with
value and the fact that Joseph and his father may be clueless and not know what
they are talking about.
Dear Sir
All this fuss about anabolics. We
used to use them all the time for cleaning and it never made us run any faster
Dear
Madam
I
think you may be thinking of carbolics.
Dear Sir
What do you think of Pontefract's
idea of using red, amber and green stickers? Do you think it will catch on?
Dear
P Cake
It's
a terrific idea. They could usefully put them on horses' rumps. A red sticker
to indicate not trying, amber for very trying and green for trying. It would be
a big help.
Dear Sir
Why don't they run the Ladies' Derby
Dear
Lady Derby
Because
they've got no sense of decency. It is
much to be regretted and stems, no doubt, from the time when the Epsom one was
moved from a Wednesday. All is changed, changed utterly. To think that, 35
years ago, Luca Cumani won the Derby
Dear Sir
At Sandown recently, I was rather
rude to a jockey about a ride he gave a horse. He punched me and now I have a
black eye. Can I sue for damages?
Dear
Mr Higginbottom
Possibly.
How ugly were you before?
Dear Sir
A fortune teller told me that nine
was my lucky number. I have since lost a lot of money at roulette. What should
I do?
Dear
Mr F Obtee
Tell
her that she was wrong. PS. Have you tried 17 black?
Dear Sir
I have always liked Windsor
Dear
Mr D Pressed
It's
a tricky one. You could try: "Darling, you know you've always said you
hate housework?"
Dear Sir
Anything today?
Dear
Will N L Earn
You
might dip your toe into Sirvino in the 4.00 at York
Did you get your own Racing Post yesterday?
Did you dare dip your toe in the water and have a £10.00 win bet on SIRVINO at 8-1?
If so, Yes, Yes, Yes.

The unbeaten colt Dawn Approach (ire) features among 15 colts going forward in
the 2013 Investec Derby, the premier Classic run at Epsom Downs on Saturday,
June 1.
It was the way the 3 year old colt Dawn Approach and Kevin Manning won the British 2,000 Guineas 2013 over 1m (8 furlongs) at Newnarket, being the main clue that he can win over the Derby distance of 1m 4f (12 furlongs ) It would be interesting to hear what Dawn Approach's rider Kevin Manning has to say about the distance issue that is causing some concern, plus the poor price offered by bookmakers.

People in Racing
How does Lord Derby fit into The Epsom Derby?
Is the British Derby named after Lord Derby?
Wondering about introductions at the races. How does one
make a request to be introduced to Lord Derby at the races? Perhaps on Derby Day on Saturday? But will Lord Derby be at the races on this 2013 Derby Day?
How many different Race Distances are there in horseracing? (furlongs explaned:)
The French Derby
(8 furlongs = 1

The British Derby

Best to arrive at the racecourse at
least half an hour before the first race.
Best to ask British rail times for
travelling arrangements.
French Derby distance changed from
a mile and a half, to a mile and a quarter, throwing a further spanner in the general
confusion stakes. It is unlikely that Jim Bolger will be tinkering with any spanners as Derby Day creeps closer and closer. Jim will be concentrating on all thing Equus in his aim to get Dawn Approach safely to Epsom Racecourse.
Student magazine requests 200 words
only: Yes, yes, yes! Equus Zone: Sir
Michael Stoute and Ryan Moore are both men of few words. Although a few words to
the horse is always helpful. Horses respond well to a persons voice, and the
tone of a persons voice: Such as
"Wooo, big fella ... pat on the neck ... steady, steady, steady now .... easy .... usually does the trick.
Equus Zone: Join Up Medication Zone:
All this fuss about anabolic steroids?
There need be no fuss about this
medication, if that is the British Horseracing Government were attending to their
duties within the Equus Zone. They do not have one. Rather like the latest observance
hitting the headlines for all the wrong reasons over Minister for Education Michael
Gove. Heaven help the children, because Gove can't..
Pontefract's ideas to use red,
amber and green stickers to put on horses rumps, to indicate red for not trying,
amber for very trying, and green for trying. A better place for stickers maybe,
upon BHA disciplinary stewards rumps 'Red for No Equus", "Amber for Learning Equus", "Green for acting without Equus".
(as at present) Latest Equus achievers
to bite the dust unjustly Sheikh Mohammed, Mahmood Al Zarooni, Eddie Ahern.
Bad Loosers
Mr Higginbottom's plight at Sandown
tackling the jockey about a loosing ride. Bad looser, no doubt Mr Higginbottom,
but now sporting a black eye into the bargain. Winston Churchill on boarding a
train and sitting down in the compartment opposite a lady. It was not long
before the lady spoke to Churchill saying "Your Drunk". Churchill
replied "Your ugly, your very ugly, but I'll be alright in the morning." I digress.
Epsom Ladies Derby?
Why don't they run the Epsom Ladies'
Derby
Dear Lord Derby ...... where is Lady Derby? ...
with Lord Derby it is hoped ... Lady Derby is urgently needed to help sort this
one out .... Help ...Help .... Help. Luca Cumani .... you never won the Epsom
Derby at Ripon with Eastern Spring 35 years ago did you? Do Ripon have a Ladies
Derby? Where is Epsom's Ladies Derby? The Epsom Oaks 2013 to be run at Epsom on
Friday is for three year old fillies only. The four legged variety that is. Very
confusing, my word how do we sort this one out? ..... In the early 1970's when
the male bastions of the Jockey Club began to grant Flat Turf Riding Licenses to
the female of the species. There was immediately found to be an almighty snag,
there were no races to ride in. Tetley Tea were called upon hastily to remedy
this embarrassing male oversight.
Fortune Tellers.
Fortune Tellers.
At Epsom Derby Festival there are
always fortune tellers around with lucky heather offers etc. Has anyone ever
told an Epsom Down's fortune teller they are wrong, I am wondering?
