309: 707:, not Rous. Some have Flatman falling from the horse rather than being kicked by it. It has even been said that it was a different horse entirely, Lord Aylesbury's Sudbury, which he had ridden in the Biennial Stakes. What is clear, is that for a while, Flatman was expected to fully recover. In reality, the rib had been driven into his lung, which became infected, and consumption followed. He began to relapse while out riding in his carriage and, after a lingering illness, died on Monday 20 August 1860. It had only been the second riding accident he had had in his long career.

It was to be the last ride of his career. On the way back to the weighing room, the mare kicked Flatman, breaking a rib. The story, however, appears differently from different sources. Some have the horse owned by the 363:, William Cooper, "one of the most upright trainers and best men that ever lived", he was initially dismissed on account of his dishevelled appearance. Cooper's wife took kindly to him, though, and pleaded Flatman's cause to her husband. As a result, Flatman was taken on as apprentice to the Cooper stable in 1825. 764:
He "earned a reputation for honesty and talent combined, excelled by none of his compeers." Elsewhere, it is said that he rode scrupulously to orders and could not be induced to bet. Some other accounts dispute this, saying he occasionally bet like all jockeys, but was careful and shrewd. It is said

He was survived by a widow, three daughters and two sons, neither of which followed their father into the profession.
