TILE PROBABLE STARTERS FOR TO-MORROW'S

RACES AT ASCOT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sm,—ln giving the list of starters below, I must state,
that in two races, the Trial and Third Triennial Stakes, the
fields may be altered by circumstances, which cannot be
foreseen at this present writing. In the Trial Stakes,
should Nancy run, she will probably not have more than a
couple of opponents; should she be reserved for the Vase,
the field, on the contrary, will be rather large
than otherwise. With regard to the Third Triennial,
Harbinger may be selected to do battle in place
of Red Hind. With these provisoes understood, the fields for
the various races will be, as far as I can ascertain, composed
as follows:

The Trial Stakes; New Mile—Officious,:filly by Knight of
the Whistle, Mountain Flower, Charles, the Queen of Beauty
filly, or Shropshire Lass, Madeline colt, Jack the Giant
Killer, and perhaps another or two. If Nancy starts, of
course she wins ; in her absence I shall look to one of the
two years old for the winner—JACK THE GIANT KILLER or
Parr's filly.
The Ascot Stakes; two miles and a half—Lady
Evelyn, Backbiter, Selina, Chopkins, Storyteller, Antigone,
or Maria (probably the former), the Heriot, Allegro, Lucia,
and Buckthorn. Exeter, Gladiole, and Nutshell are doubt-
ful starters. My opinion on this race remains as expressed
last week; LADY EVELYN or BACKBITER, in all probability
the former, to win, with Storyteller and Lucio in the next
places.

Gold Vase; two miles— Barbarian, Ambrose Marinella
colt, Sackbut, Frantic, Little Harry, and Clincher. Nancy
is a:nong the doubtfuls for this'as for the other races. Halle goes
I expect she will be about winning: put her out of the way
and FRANTIC and BARBARIAN will be first and second.
The Welcome Stakes; one mile and a haIf—FLIRT, 1;
FATitaa THAMES, 2. Bay Rosalind not expected to start.
Second Triennial ; one mile seven furlongs and 154 yards—
Misserima, Midas, Harpsichord, Cnxus, Hesse Homburg,
Leybourne, Catalpa, and Knook Knoll. Constellation a some-
what doubtful runner. As 1 remarked before. this race will
probably terminate in favour of MIDAS or Missitoute, the
former being tooled by Norman, and the latter by White-
house; and if I place Hesse Homburg in the third position,
with Census and Catalpa following—the other three bringing
up the rear—l think my view of the case will approach very
near to realization.

Third Triennial Stakes; New Mile—Harbinger, or fled
Hind, Songstress, Joe Miller, Filius, Calot, Weathergage,
Convulsion, King Pepin, and perhaps Ilex. The first two
places in this race are tolerably sure of being filled by the
Goodwood horse and SONGSTRESS; Joe Miller not improbably
being stalled off the third place by Filius. Nat will ride the
Goodwood horse, and Butler Songstress ; so we may expect a
very interesting struggle. A. Day mounts Filius.
Fifty Soya. Stales; not quite t,,io miles—Father Thames,
1; Houlakin, 2. Red Hind is not expected to start, or, of
course, she would have won. In her absence, Father Thames's
allowance of, 6lbs, will just enable him to dispose of
lloulakin.

Ascot Derby Stakes; one mile and a half—Red Hind,
Convvlsion, and, for the off chance, perhaps Ilex. Should
Red Hind run for the triennial Stakes, I presume some com
promise will be made in this stake, and that she or Convul-
sion will make a walk over of at; but in the event of her
not starting for the Triennial, of course she will win this
affair in a canter.

The first day's sport will terminate with the spin between
Stella and Elspeth for the Fifty sous. Sweepstakes, over
three-quarters of a mile.
The latest betting on the Ascot events shows a marked
alteration in the prices of several horses, particularly so with
regard to Voltigeur for the Emperor's Plate and Backbiter
for the Ascot Stakes; the latest quotations rule as follow :
Trial Stakes-2 to lon the field. Ascot Stakes-7 to 2
agst Lady Evelyn, 4 to 1 agst Storyteller; 6 to 1 agst Har-
ricot, 3 to 1 agst Luci t, 10 to 1 agst Backbiter. Gold Vase-
7to 4 agst Frantic, sto 2 agat Barbarian. Second Triennial
Stakes-3 to 1 agst Midas, 4to 1 each agst Misserima, Hesse
Homburg, and Onazus, 6 to 1 agst Knook Knoll, 10 any other.
Third Triennial-2 to 1 each agst Songstress and Red
Hind, 4to 1 agst Harbinger, 6 to 1 each agst Joe Miller
and Filius—nothing else mentioned. Ascot Derby-5 to 2
on Red Hind, 3to 1 agst Convulsion. Fernhill Stakes— 6to
4on Vaultress, 4to 1 agst any other. Fourth Triennial
Stakes-3 to lon the field, 7to 2 agst Auld Acquaintance, S
to 1 each agst Veteran and Tamerlane. Cuckoo tidy inquired
after, but nothing done. Coronation Stakes—Even on Ca-
loric, 3to I agst Exotic filly. Emperor's Plate-5 to 2 agst
Voltigeur, 3 to 1 agst Bobbie Noble, 4 to 1 agst Mountain
Deer,6 to 1 any ether. New Stakes-2 to 1 ac,st Pelion, 4
to 1 agst Pharold, 7 to I agst Coomberland ancrStathesmon.
50 soya. Stakes-6 to 4on Harbinger, 4to 1 each agst Fi-
lila and Ben 'Nevis.
