Derwent Racing Team's star filly, Tempest Tost gets her name from a poem composed in honour of the Statue of Liberty, which was donated to the people of America by France in 1884.

Tempest Tost's owner Geoff Harper got the idea for her name from a plaque on the base of the statue because she was by the stallion Statue Of Liberty.

The plaque contains the last few lines from the poem which is reproduced in full below.

"The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles.
From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
""Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!"" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
