He had been to the races at Newmarket and intended to return to Edinburgh to collect his wife and then return to London. It didn’t quite go as planned. He lived to tell the tale but a couple of hundred died, some dogs were saved, and another famous individual made a lucky decision which probably saved his life. So what was the event and who are the two survivors?
Hi David,
