Epsom Races: The Winner, after the Race, 1856. Horses, owners and jockeys. 'Fly-by-Night was in considerable demand. At first 15 to 1 was booked about him to several hundred pounds. The last bet which came under our notice was 12 to 1 to £300. About Ellington 1000 to 60 was taken twelve times. The running of the Coroner, who has always been reported many pounds inferior to Yellow Jack, seemingly convinced those who had discredited the rumour that the owner of the two horses was after all best acquainted with their relative merits; 40 to 1 was offered against The Coroner, while his stable companion, Yellow Jack, was advanced to 100 to 6 (taken)'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
