From the beginning of 1848 to the end of 1870 he won 76 races.〔 He rode 5 Grand National winners: Freetrader, 1856; Emblem 1863; Emblematic, 1864; The Colonel, 1869, 1870.〔Haywood, Linda. (4 April 2008) (A Big Long History of the Grand National ). Popular Nostalgia.〕 He died on June 2, 1871 after suffering a skull fracture the previous day; his horse stumbled and threw him after bolting as Stevens was quietly riding home to his cottage on Cleeve Hill.〔
