Six Mile Bottom is a hamlet near Cambridge, the name is derived from its distance from Newmarket Racecourse and because it lies in a valley bottom.
Queen of Trumps (1832-1843) was a British thoroughbred racehorse and brood mare best known for winning the classic Oaks and St. Leger stakes in 1835, the first horse to win both races.
Mundig (1832-1852) was a British thoroughbred racehorse and sire. His most important win was the Derby in 1835.
