ANALYSIS OF THE GREAT YORKSHIRE

HANDICAP.

7'O THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Slll,—The Great Yorkshire handicap was established
in 1842, when it was won by Galanthus, 3 yrs, sst 121 b.
In 1843 and 1844 Pompey was the Victor; in the former
year as a three yrs old, he carried 6st 71b, and in the
latter ist 81b. In 1845, My Mary, 3 yrs, sst, was the
winner. In 1846, Cranebrook, 3 yrs, Est 71b; 1847,
Yardley, aged, 7st 51b; 1848, Miss Sarah, 6 yrs, Bst 816;
1849, Snowstorm, 3 yrs, sst 121 b; 1850, Mark Teploh
3 yrs, sst 91b; and in 1851, The Confessor, 3 yrs,
6st 41b, were respectively the conquerors. It will be seen
by this that the three yrs old division have carried off
this stake in seven instances out of ten, at respectable
weights, varying from 5.t to 6st 71b; this year, how-
ever, they seem likely to be on the losing side, without
Alircd the Great can pull them through, the remainder,
in their present company, bring quite out of the race.

This Handicap is co-imposed a subscription of 25
sous. each, 15 ft, and oily 5 if declarmi, over the St.
I..Nter Courbe, a ciistarca of one mile six furlongs
and 132 yards. Out of an entry numbering no

less than sevent) -eine, the owners of ti ve-
aud-tc enty only have declared themselves satisfied
with tie weights placed upon their horses. Russbo-
rough heads the list, as he has done for mazy handicaps,
though for what reason I cannot discover. Ills shone
here, if he runs, is an inferior one, and so is his neigh-
bour Chief Justice, who is weighted at 9.!bs. less.
N ucy, 4 yrs, Sit 31b, were she in form, would Le a set-
tier; but its she is not, she must he content to fiehth in
the ruck. Prime Minister, at Bst 31b, has, I fancy, a
few pounds too much to carry; and Truth, at a pound
less, is by no means well in, the Premier having her as
safe as possible. Miss Ann's day seems to have passed
away, without she is being quietly bottled up for some-
thing. At 7st 121 b, although a six years old, I cannot
fancy her. Alonzo, 5 yrs, 7st 111 b, were the course a
little shorter, would be very dangerous ; as the case
stands I cannot place any faith in him. Frantic, although
an out-and-outer, at ist 61b, has considerably too much
to carry for a three yrs old.
Trickstress, 4 yrs, 7st 61b,
is not likely to play off the winning trick on this occa-
sion. Hungerford is leniently treated by the handi-
capper, only Est 81b haying been awarded to him; but I
very much doubt his capability of finishing in front.
The Proctor, at the same weight as the Alp (6st 51b),
will have to make place for the latter, who if
he never possessed a chance of winning before,
has outs now ; for I should say his six years
old back cannot be broken by the feathery weight that
he has to carry. Koh-i-noor, 3 yrs, Est slb, is on the
forlorn list. Story-teller, 4 yrs, 6st 41b, is moderately
well off, hut I think he has his superiors in this bout
among the light-weighted class. Scarecrow, if they
mean him for the Cesarewitch, which I presume de-
pends upon the weight, will net appear before the eye
of ,the public at Doncaster. The Knight of the Garter,
4 yrs, Gat 31bs, is treated by the handicapper in a man-
ner that will enable his noble owner to have a good
chance of carrring off this handicap, and thereby snake
some amends for his St. Leger catastrophe. Jack
Leeming, a most mysterious animal, who can run if he
likes, but generally has a strong objection to exerting
himself, at sst 131 b, is let loose. Alfred the Great, the
only three yrs old with any pretension to winning this
stake, is a doubtful starter; should he run, however, his
chance is not the most forlorn imaginable. Lerry
Whent, 3 yrs, sst 31b, has shown some running at times,
but will not do fur this spin. Lady Harriett and Cap-
tain Flash, as knowing little or nothing about, I shall

among among others, Burodale, 7st; Agnes Wickfield, Est 1111 b;
The Red Lion, 7st; Mickleton Maid filly, Est 11lb; and
Lindrick, ist. I have entered into these particulars
about this filly, knowing full well that she will be an
immense favourite. She has improved considerably
since her last performance, and, if she cannot run close
up on this occasion, ought to be turned out as a common
hack at once. Bilberry, 3 yrs, 4st 91b, seems to have
a disinclination to win a great handicap, no matter how
favourably she may be treated as to weight; she is
rather dangerous, however, to stand against. The Infi-
delity filly, at 4st 71b, is likewise in well; is*
the animals she will have to meet hero are of a grade
superior to her. On looking over my scraps of informa-
tion, I find that the batch most likely to dispute the
point of honour at the finish will consist of Alp, the
Twin, and the Knight of the Garter ; and if I place
the last-named two first and second, those positions ap-
proach the nearest, in my imagination, to what will be
the result.
In summing up yesterday on the Leamington Stakes,
I gave the pride of place to Lady Evelyn and Hugo ;
I must now put Cleveland in Hug ,'a position, and at
the same time declare it to be my firm conviction that
Cleveland will take an immense deal of beating.
I am, Sir, &c.
