Alfred Day (jockey) by Robert Sly, should have won easily. He won his final classic, the 1859 2,000 Guineas, for his other brother William, on The Promised Land. The 1854 Ascot Gold Cup gave him one of the greatest races of his career, when he beat Kingston by a head on the famous West Australian. His final ride came at Epsom on 17 April 1863 on a horse called Golden Dust which finished second. He died on 4 January 1868 aged 37. Day was a "natural horseman" with "exceptionally fine judgement" and was a "more accomplished rider" than his brothers. George Lowe of
