|genre=General Fiction
|summary=In June 1913 Emily Wilding Davison ran out in front of the King's horse at the Epsom Derby: she died of her injuries. Her actions are often quoted in history books and whether you think her to be a suffragette martyr or a deluded woman, few are ignorant of her or what she did. But how many people remember the jockey who was up on that fateful day? Few will know his name, or that what happened at the Derby would haunt him for years to come as he believed himself responsible for killing Emily Davison. ''The King's Jockey'' is the story of Herbert 'Bertie' Jones, of the life which brought him to the Derby and of what happened in the years afterwards.
