Gladiateur I recommended to bo backed the week before
the Two Thousand, when at 25 to 1. Those who took my
advice have now rare good hedging. Ho has been doing
strong work ever since, and, if not the actual winner, ought
to secure a situation amongst the first throe. Oppressor
has crept gradually up in the market, and is now amongst
the leading favourites. He was out seven times last year,
and was only defeated once by Wild Agnes. All sorts of
excuses were made for him at the time. There is a clever
party supporting him ; and when such judges as Jackson
and Steele aro going for him it is quite sufficient for the
public to follow suit. Breadalbano is now first favourite,
having deprived Gladiateur of the premiership yesterday
at the West-end. Ho was fairly defeated on his merits
in the Two Thousand, though ho . he could, and
I shall expect to see him defeated again. Longdown,
from his performances last year, should be well up with
Gladiateur at the finish. Christmas Carol has never been
out in public, but has had a most wonderful trial. It is said
that he can cover the Derby course in shorter time than it
was ever accomplished before, but I certainly prefer public
to private performers. Wild Charley will be the trusted of
Mr. Merry. Previous to the Two Thousand ho was tried
with Liddington and Zambesi. At a mile Liddington beat
them both, but when the Derby Course had been run Wild
Charley won by nearly a distance. Since then Zambesi
and Wild Charley have had another trial, with precisely
the same result. Looking at the position that both Lid-
dington and Zambesi occupied in the Two Thousand,
Wild Charley is bound to beat every public performer that
has been out this year. Archimedes will, no doubt, be 51b.
better than when he ran in the Two Thousand, but still I
shall expect to see Wild Charley finish before him. Bed-
minster has been defeated in his trial, which has had the
effect of sending him to the 100 to 1 division. Having
noticed the horses that are likely to take a prominent part

in the race, it now becomes my duty to try and forestall the
judge in his decision by placing

WILD CHARLEY
GLADIATEUR 2
ARCHIMEDES 3
If tho much despised Chattanooga should be reinstated in
the betting again, which I expect he will be, he will not be,
far away from the winner, if he does not actually win.

The field for the Oaks will be selected from the follow.

LATEST WEST-END BETTING.

There was little to be noted yesterday with regard to
tho Derby betting except that Breadalbane had decidedly
the call of the French horse, 5 to 1 having been taken
freely about Mr. Chaplin's horse, while Gladiateur was but
seldom even inquired after. Bto 1 would have been taken
about Archimedes, and Wild Charley was entrusted with
an outlay of £2OO at 9to 1. Oppressor was still firm, but
his friends stood out for 11 to 1, at which, however, they
could not be accommodated. Chattanooga would seem to
have at least received the coup de grace, for although 1,000
to 10 was taken once or twice, the believers in Mr. Naylor a
champion would have had their work to do to tire out the
layers at the same price. Zephyr further improved her
position, by advancing to 40 to 1 taken freely. Closing
prices :
