PROPHECIES FOR GOODWOOD RACES. 1 nipERTAL p.

The following are the anticipations of the various weekly
papers as to the results of the Goodwood Stakes and Cup :

Bell's Life.

GOODWOOD STAKES.—We cannot help " following the
money" and choosing Anfield for our ally, his trial being
almost good enough to win a Derby.

GooDwooD Cup.—Buckstone is backed for so much
money that we are bound to overlook all his failures, as if
he cannot win at Goodwood there is no cup race he is good
enough to contend for; and the next best to him may be
discovered in Fairwater.

BEACON—AFporting Gazette.
GOODWOOD STAKES.—My opinion in this instance is
that Bellman or Zapateado will prove the winner, should
no demonstration be made in favour of Brian Boru, who I
must take as a " cockboat."

GOODWOOD Cup.--Buck6.+4)ne runs on 71b worse terms
than weight tor age with the 3-year-olds ; but, great horse
though he be, I think he can hardly give a o much weight
as 391 b to Isoline and La Toucques, either of whom I ex-
pect to see win ; and were I certain of its being a strong
run race I should give Isoiine th 3 preference, believing that
if anything beats the pair it will be Atherstone, whose per-
formance for the Epsom Cup, where he beat Buckatone fair
seems to be quite overlooked
and square, giving him 31b,
by the public.

OBSERVER--The
GOODWOOD STAKES.--TO SUM up, I must place ANFIELD
first, and ZAPATEADO second.
GOODWOOD CUI'.-At two miles La Toucques would
undoubtedly be formidable, but if the judgment of English
jockeys is to be depended upon, she tired too much in
great race at Paris to be safely depended upon now. I shall
therefore not hesitate to award the Goodwood Cup of this
year to BUCKSTONE.

TOUCHSTONE—Era.
GOODWOOD STAKES.—To sum up, We think the three
likely to beat the field are Anti.dd, Brian Boru, and Bell•
man, and believing that Bellman is a good horse, and that
he will stay every inch of the distance, we take him to be
the most worthy of support at the present state of the quo .
tations.
GOODWOOD Cur.—We can see nothing to upset Buck
stone, and we confidently expect to see him accomplish for
Mr. Merry what Tbormanby did two years ago.

AUGUR—Sporting Life.
GOODWOOD STAKES.—My final speeca must be for the
first and last letters of the alphabet, A and Z, represented
by Anfield and Z ipateado, recommending all who have
supported Anfield up to the present period to save their
stakes upon Lord Zetland's horse.
GooDwoon Cur.—ln conclusion, my allegiance must be
given to Buckstone and Fairwater, whom I consider a far
better class than the rest by whom they are likely to be op-
posed.
