REVIEW OF THE DERBY LOTS.
TO THE =TOR OF MS =rim.
Sts,—After this month the Derby question will
have to make way for others of more immediate,
ea the spring hand/imps, when published, will a
attention, and likewise all the betting if they peeve satis-
factory. The Derby has, however, boom • most interest-
ing subject of discussion by the movements that have been
made since the doss of list season, one of the " dark"
division being such a lion that he threatens to endanger
Liddington's mediae of did favwxite before long, several
of the same kidney having deb stench adherents that
many of the beet iodise are in expectation of seeing
another Blair Athol at Epsom The number that
has bees backed within* ever having been son in public
is something remarkable, and inquiries, more or lees nume-
rous, alter quite a soon have come wider my own observa-
tion the past six months—viz., A 1, Ansonia. Aide:
nodes, Ariel, Remelted, Breoesielaw, Brown Dayrell,
Chnetmas Cool, Deeper, DO: Dolly, Dreniagton. Dx.
Monitor (by Monarque), Plantagenet, Primo of Wales,
Richmond, Rifle, the Sortie Galt, can Amok, Whirlwind,
Wild Bee. and Wild Charley. Many of dons have by this
time been found wanting, of come, and have god oat, bet
a moiety are still in the market, and • low of " Juicy
beta" who took 2 to 1 the Derby wiener had never can in
public would have nose the best of the deal sow, window's
value the interceded might eventually turn out. And yet
the public home are more formidable than ever, for Beira
Life talk us that sixty-kw of them have ban enessedul,
and won 120 press between them, Liddiegtem eon* fear
wins a the reel, and Oppressor proving victorious six shoe
out of seven.
The Northerners, nevertheless, despite Oppreseor's midis
"form," seem to be shod solely dwindled as then dark
horses for what lock they may get at Epsom, sad the mix
tonit4s particularly, for J. Soott has nothing in kis stable
that is now talked about beyond Rifle, A and Whirl-
wind, and W. l'Aasoa's Brodalbane and Broomielaw an
the only others oe the weld worth mentioning. Farewell,
the best performer at Scott's, only test Haarlem a head
when be won his race at Goodwood, and having met with an
accident afterward., the faith they once had in him seems
dead. The most glowing descriptions are current emcees-
ing the looks and style of going of the five shove-
named; and time two relatives of Blair Athol. have
been all the rage in betting °dales for the past
few days, all the money that was is the market havis
been taken about Broonzielaw yet still Brodalbane's
position is not to be shaken, although it is generally wider-
stood his party have bees forestalled, an ides 1 cannot help
coinciding with. Touching him now, at any fate, strikes
me as bang • very bad speculation, and if people will have
the Blair Athol blood they bad far better trait in
Broomielaw. Of J. Scott's, And is not half such a favourite
at Whitewall as he was • few mouths back, and Rifle looks
all over the Simon Pere of the stable, my impression being
that he will see a short pennon day, and do the white and
crimson every credit the tirst time heavies in public. At Mid-
dleham, robed has a splendid colt called The Imes, who was
only ont mum when, being big, he was • bad third to Op-
pressor and Olmar at Stockton. He looks more like a
Derby hone than Oppressor, who is rather usdersired, not-
withsteadieg which T. T. DSWOOD'S party were always very
sweet upon nim, and aver that when Wild Agues beat him
he was not quite up to the mark. Olmar °snakily had ao
chance with km on sitter occasion of their masWg, and
he gond always en that account be preferred to tbelZem-
beet Kceoig, and Ostreger clams, the latter being an useful I
gentleman to try him with now that he has joined the ,
string. He once heat Koenig and Zambesi, and recent ad-
vices
from Middleham hint that he will quite run
up to this form again some day. Nothing dam is
the stable can hope for Derby honours ; sad J. Ostend,
King Arthur being hardly good or big enough to place o-
pen -,:.once in, Middleham 34 not so dangerous locking at
Melton, unless Inca turn out the great horse his looks be-
token he might do. Richmond is blood with nothing
better than Wietringbam's More Nothing and Watrioo's
Old,r, neither of whom is " first class," while Olmar will
never be big enough to represent Yorkshire in Isiah a con-
test, the hopes of the Northerners, supposing &odd-
bane to retain his present false position, centring chiefly in
Rifle and Brooeuelaw.
Newmarket has many "lots" for the Bathes to choose
between, the most nonmensis oue being J. Gadding's, Chat-
tanooga, Congress, lazaretto (all Mr. Naylor's), and Joker,
composing the cream. Chattanooga's easy Criteria" victory
soon made him the pet of the stable, for he was so backward
in condition as to be tsetse by Joker in a trial • few days
previously ; and I have every confidence in his doing the
firm good service. They made • great mistake with Laza-
retto when he ran, Zephyr beating him with the greatest
ova ; and Cowen is only about going into training, little
being known of him more than that be is • very racing-like
colt, and of the weer and tear sort. He is more likely to
prove • good second-siring to the stable than Joker, who
was fairly beaten by Audax and Brahma at Damodar, and
by Gladiator at Newnsazket, when he amid so much
" good money." Of Jeuninp's lot, ((Wieder, Le Man-
darin, and Doge have run, and the filet-named decidedly the
best—his &foto( Joker, Regions, ko., having been so moth
to his credit that but for a doubtful leg be • add make
the Frenchmen more dangerous at Epsom than aver. The
"dark " Monitor may turn out to be their best card now,
for Le Mandarin's form was never more than second rate,
and Doge's performances have been anything but in wooed-
&nos with his good looks. John Dawsoe's string will not
do to play upon, with the inferior King Charming and
T. Y. C. Puritan for his best ; sod although there is no say-
ing how great a horse Arnull's Don Buillo may not be-
come, and Goodwin's Reinfrid is we of the promising sort,
Godding's moat decorous rind on the heath is Baykal',
probably the beau • ul Zephyr being just the sort of filly
that would find favour even when placed alongside Chat-
tanooga.
The Berkshire, Hampshire, and Wiltshire trainers ass is
many caw quite sanguine, and on the Berkshire downs there
is more than one formidable lot, Mr. Merry's having nearly
all been great cards in their day, • suspicion being awe
entertained that the "dark" Dilly Daily or Wild Charley
might be better then Liddington or Zambesi. But there is
no doubt now which is the pick of the basket, and laddiog-
ton has done so well Ethos he ran at Newmarket as to make
his friends think the Derby merely • matter of health.
Dover's A 1 hart as the nanny, act got on at all well,
and then is the doubt whether he can be brought out fit,
the clique no/ appearing to have fallen back noon the
snood-rate Black ,g.bt for in representation T. Pan's
Friday is only moderate on " public form," but be has win-
tered well, and improved into a very racing-like three
I*year old, his staying being a certainty. G. Oates's Brown
yrell hm proposed badly, and I caned possibly see that
more than oue of Liddiopou'a neighbours can jeopardise his
prethosions. Trained privately, like him, SirJ. Hawley's
Bedmuister may prove his witch, for he should never bare
been beaten, and won his two races eddy enough to allow
of his being the best hone of his year. Sienese is training
• dangerous °denier called Wild Bee, who has:mew run ;
and the only one of W. Day's ever thought of in connection
with the Derby, the eels by Stook well—Sortie, is dark,
too; his neighbour Wooloot being more demoting of atten-
tion, for he has Anti-Macassar, Herr' .et-Law sad
Audit The latter's staying abilities will take him into
the frost rank ; but be is nothing like • first-dame per-
former, sad would be more odd, after ell, Is long diatoms
haolioaps. The Danstary stable is represeeted by admen,
including The Duke, Komi& &beret and the " dark
Donniegton ; and the two fit named ban been looked by
all the followers of John Day to erbi large sums of mosey.
However, The Doke is their sole hope, it strikes me, and I
should like to see something more decisive than his three
last performances before online him • good investment H.
