Collinson was the son of a Yorkshire farmer and joined the stable of Christopher Jackson at Middleham as a young boy, where he learnt to ride "in a masterly Yorkshire style"[1]
In 1808, he won the Derby on a 20/1 outsider, Pan, by half a length at odds from a field of ten for a prize of £1,260. He was somewhat fortunate to win, as the jockey on the runner-up, Bill Clift, had failed to notice Collinson's challenge until it was too late.[2][1] In winning the Derby, however, he paid a fatal price. On his way to Epsom for the race, he slept in a damp bed at an inn and contracted the illness that would kill him.[3]

gollark: The main issue I have with things is just that the PKI stuff is kind of awful, but we can change "major browser support" to "certificate issued by authorities trusted by major browsers, or secure alternative certificate issuance systems".
gollark: Things acting as servers, with internet connectivity and the ability to do IP and whatever, are surely basically fast enough™ to do cryptography.
gollark: And in most cases it won't, because computers are fast and can easily deal with running a few block ciphers over things.
gollark: Well, if it doesn't involve any other compromises, it is good.
