DONCASTER RACES.

The above meeting will commence to-morrow. There
are thirty races to be decided.. The Great Yorkshire
Handicap has a very fair acceptance. The field will be
made up from the following :—Planet, 4 yrs, Bst 121 b ;
Ackworth, 4 yrs, Bst 71b ; Hippolyta, 4 yrs, Bst 51b ; Gra-
titude, 5 yrs, Bst 41b ; Dalby, 4 yrs, Bst 21b ; Claremont,
4 yrs, Bst llb Dunkeld, 5 yrs, 7st 121 b ; Nightwatch, 3
yrs, 7st 31b ; Nemo, 4 yrs, 7st 21b ; Verdant, 3 yrs, 6st
101 b; Brindisi, 4 yrs, Est. 91b; Swordsman, 3 yrs, Est 81b.;
La Fortune, 3 yrs, Est 71b ; Holstein, 3 yrs, sst 121 b.
Immediately the weights appeared Claremont was selected
as the favourite from the close run he made with Verdant
in the Ebor Handicap. He has now 51b the best of the
weights with the latter, and, from the improvement the
horse has made since, he is bound to finish in the front rank,
if he does not turnout the actual winner. Ackworth, from his
easy victory over Success and Pearl Diver, must have a great
chance, but he had better be left alone at present, as he has
lately become very fishy in the market, otherwise he would
have been one of my selections. Hippolyta ran well last
year, has 21b less to carry than Ackworth, and was always
considered to be bettor than Breeze at laiel weights.
The most dangerous of the light division are Brindisi,
Swordsman, and Holstein. Swordsman will be ridden by
J. Grimshaw, and if this is his journey in preference to
tie Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire he will be difficult
to dispose of. Holstein has now superseded his stable
companion Brindisi in the market, but I would rather
trust the latter. The winner, however, will be either
CLAREMONT or HIPPOLYTA. The Glasgow Stakes Chibisa
or Lord of the Vale will win ; and the Filly Stakes Gretna
will have no difficulty in securing. Queen of Trumps or
Liddington will win the Revival Plate. Primate and
Lord Lyon are the most trustworthy pair in the Champagne
Stakes, giving a slight preference to the former. The
great race of the meeting is the St. Leger, which comes off
on Wednesday. The field will be very limited, in conse-
quence of the immense support awarded to Gladiateur, the
winner of the Two Thousand and Derby. A strong body
of the most noteworthy members of the Pugilistic Associa-
tion, headed by the celebrated Jerry Noon, have been en-
gaged as a guard to protect the French horse from any
hostile demonstration that may be made at the weighing-
room. The most of those quoted under are likely to face
the starter :

the
exception of Klarinska and The Duke. His easy victory
in the Derby, after being shut in at Tattenham Corner,
where he lost several lengths, stamps him as the best three-
yr-old of his year. Klarinska, and Regalia are about one
and the same, as the former won the Yorkshire Oaks and
Great Yorkshire Stakes quite as easily as Regalia won the
Oaks. Peeress, although she defeated Klarinska at Good-
wood, must succumb to the latter on the present occa-
sion. Breadalbane may run a better horse than
he did in the Derby, as it is impossible to tell
how good. he may be, especially considering the parties
who had the management of him. Witness the out-and-in
running of Blink Bonny in the One Thousand Guineas in
1857, who belonged to the same division, and was backed
for pounds shillings and pence by the public, but in the
race run nowhere, which was won by Imperieuse. Three
or four weeks afterwards Blink Bonny carried off the
Derby, and on the Friday following won the Oaks, beat-
ing Imperieuse by nearly a quarter of a mile. Then came
the Leger, for which Blink Bonny was made a hot favou-
rite, but she had to lower her colours to Imperieuse. They
may have been fair run races, but " Miles's Boy" is very
apt to think otherwise. It is needless to discuss the
merits of the other horses engaged, as there really seems
only four horses in the race, viz., Gladiateur, Klarinska,
Regalia, and Breadalbane. The judge, I anticipate, will
place
