RACING PROPHECIES-LIVERPOOL AUTUMN
CUP.

The writer to Belle Life says :—"A respectable performer
like Golden Pledge must beet all the three-year-olds, for
we are obliged to doubt the ability of Blithfield to give 31b
to a better • fourth' for the St. Lew than he was for the
Cesarewitch, his inability to best Jack of Hearts for third
place in the latter race being another strong argument
against him. As Gardener is a stable companion of the
Pledge, and Somersault of Catch-'em-Alive and Hamada,
there are only Balbam, Camerino, and Earl of Surrey of
the fresh horses foe Golden Pledge to beat, ,supposing him
to hold safe Blithgeld ; and Palbam's Lewes race with Lord
of Lions showed him to be E. bad horse over a distance,
while Camerino has fallen lame on the last two or three
occasions of his runnier in public. The Earl of Surrey is
the only one that appears, on paper, capable of brain the
Ebor Handicap grimier ; and lie occupies such a dubious
position in the market that we have no choice left but to
stand on Golden Pledge."
"Observer," in the Field', Is of opinion "The starters
will comprise Tweeter, Pelham. Oatch-'em•Alive,
Blith-
field, Earl of Surrey, Golden Pledge, Pearl Diver, and,
perhaps, Mueuin, and Lewis's. The betting points to
Golden Pledge as the winner ; and, if as well as be was in
the St. Leger, I anticipate his success as confidently as I
recommeeded him for the Ebor Handicap, at 'York.
Cetots'ein is still fancied by his party, but I am afraid the
tlistaoce will be too much for him. Fairwater, according
to my notions, must be too stale by this time to compete
with fresh animals. Wham is certain to be forward if
backed, and I look upon him as dangerous. Of the others
the only one with a chance, is my mind. is The Earl of
Sung,. who is out crushed with weight, and bound to run
into a front place. In conclusion, I must rely upon Golden
Pledge or &them to furnish the winner, and shall take The
Earl of Surrey as a coekboat."
" Touchstone," in the Era, says :—"Blitblield has run
very forward in bis last two or three races, and his politica
in the Otearewitch must make him dangerous. Despite
the tone of the market, we think he will beat the heavily-
weighted three-year-olds, for we do not think much of
Golden Pledge after Borealis's running in the Cambridge
shire, and the little filly got before bin et Doncaster. He
may rue well, however, as may also Earl of Surrey, for we
do not believe that the latter showed in hia true colours at
Lincoln Of the other, we have the greatest partiality for
Trap and Nebula, both handy and well in, though it is not
certain they can stay ; but, whether they can or not,
Blithaeld seems able to give them a stone, and the last-
named, with Fairwater, Belbam, Catch-'emAlive, and
Golden Pledge, we take to be the most likely of the lot, and
our vote must be for Blitlifield or Catch-'ern-Alive."
