A FEW WORDS ON TUE CESAREWITCH AND
CA ÜBRIDGESUIRE STAKES.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE 9 UN.
SIR,—I cannot say that I consider the handicap for
either of these great autumnal stakes as good ; but
being constructed rather better than the average, I sup-
pose they must he allowed to pass muster. It is not
My intention to-day to attempt the selection of a winner,
but merely to point out those horses who are well or
badly handicapped.
In the Ces:rewi:ch list, Voltigeur, at Bst, if he were in
his old foim, which he is not, would be fairly
weighted;
half a stone less, as the Cate is, would scarcely give him a
chance. Newminster and Woolwich, I believe, do not
accept. Kingston, at Bst 41h, is evidently overdosed ;
and Daniel O'Rourke, at Bst 11b, is much in the same
predicament. Stockwell, Stilton, and Songstress, are
quite out of the fray at 7st 131 b. Cardinal Wiseman
has 101 b too much to curry, and Joe Miller's chance, at
7st 101 b, is rather an interior one. Windischgratz, at
7st 91b, if in respectable condition, is weighed very I
fairly. 'Terpsichore will never do at 7st 61b ; nor will
the Indian Warrior at 7st 51b. blelford is not over-
burthencd at ist 4lb ; neither is Le Juif at 6st 131 b.
Candlewick, at 6st 91), will probably be a moderate fa-
vourite, being very well in. Kingfisher is well enough
in at 6st 51b to be Scott's horse on the day.
Redmond O'Hanlon, Est 41b, will, probably, re-
present the Marquis of Waterford's interests.
Phlegra, Est 41b, 11 in her last year's form, is
very dangerous. The crack Scarecrow is very fairly
weighted at Est 41b, and if his trial in July was correct
ought to continue a great favourite for this stake.
Phlegethon is let loose ut 6st 2lb; Hyacinth is beauti-
fully handicapped, Est 21b being a weight that I think
she could win with if put to it. Paddy Bird, Waverley,
Ilex, Bonita, Pan, Waterfall, Cleveland, Dangerous,
Babette, Bit of Blue, Pancake, and Fledgling are all
favourably treated by the " powers that be."
In the Cambridgeshire the weights
range very widely
—from 9st 31b down to 4st 131 b, a matter of 60 pounds.
Teddington, Mountain Deer, Newrninster and Turnus
have more weight allotted to them than they can conve-
niently carry. Glauca at Bst 31b, and Ariosto at Bst 21b,
are treated much better than the foregoing. Hobble
Noble, who has been backed for a good bit of money, to
my thinking has some five or six pounds too much. The
same remark will apply to Stockwell. Hagley, if he
has any of his old speed left, at Tat 91b ought to run
forward, but I believe he has been training off lately.
Frantic, I think, has a pound or two too much at
7st 81b, but it is a nice
point to determine on.
Grief at 7st 61b over this course is comfortably
in. The same observation will apply to Melford
at 7st 21b. Gladiola is treated anything but
badly at Est 91b. Lancaster
in
probably be the Mar-
quis's horse, being capitally nat Est 61b. King Pepin
is fairly
weighted at Est 61b. as is Evadne at 6st 51b—the
latter is very dangerous-looking customer. Azsel at Est
21b will take a vast deal of beating; as will Plot at sst
Largestcpa
ipa of the
non
in
91b. Paddy Bird, Puritan, and Allred the Great—the
first-named at 6st, and,the other two at sst 121b—are by
no means over-dosed with weight.
two, T h
iesalmost
ce Cambridgeshire,rtain being
proportion to the entries, consequently will be the
greatest betting race of the two.
As soon as the acceptances are declared, I shall make
have to rhoee
best
ilactie
a point of entering at full length into an analysis of both
stakes, and attempt the very difficult art of selecting
the winner of each.—l'am, &c.
