It is impossible to tell what will represent John Day, as
John Davis, Gumera, Lansdown, and Nukuheva have all
been backed in turn ; but .the former, from his Lewes run-
ning, looks the most dangerous of the lot. Privateer and
Breeze are both first-class horses, and ought to be kept on
the safe side. Suspicion, Union Jack, Buckfoot, Vertuga-
din, and Claxton have too much weight. Solon, if he has
quite recovered from his accident, must have a great chance.
33—iea good hoise, but 1 am afraid the weight
will tell on him at the finish. However, as there are very
few good horses engaged, he must be in the front
rank. Crisis will find the distance too far. If the
running of The Clown last week was correct, his chance is
extinguished, but some of the owners do queer things now-
a-days. Count Cavour has never shown any good form.
Emblem and Emblematic are not overweighted, but they
will be more at home over a steeplechase course.
Alabama will represent the American interest. Mr.
Ten Broeck has backed his horse for a good deal of
genuine money. When the wily American is in earnest
(which he seems to be on the present occasion) it would be
bad policy to take liberties with his horse. Salpinctes has
been heavily supported by a very clever division who sal-
, dom throw their money away. Ho has had a favourable
trial with Sydmonton, which accounts for the vast outlays
of money with which he has been trusted. Farce, from
running secoond to John Davis at Lewes, has occasionally
been nibbled at. If worth keeping in training she ought
to run away with the race. Ostregor and Morris Dancer
have both been supported, the former for tho most genuine
money, but Salpinctes holds them both safe. Mr. Brayley
has three engaged, the best of which I take to be Pearl
Diver, but he is held safe by Defy, who run him to half
a length in the Berkshire Stakes, when running at a differ-
ence of Ist 111 b, the former has now to give the latter nearly
3st., which should settle his chance. Tho winner will in
my opinion bo amongst the following five :—Salpinctes,
Ostregor, Alabama, Zephyr, and Farce, and in making a
final selection I shall expect the judge to place
SALPINCTES or ZEPHYR 1
ALABAMA
