TIIE EBOR HANDICAP.
' There are ten raccs set for decision to-morrow, including 1
the Great Ebor Handicap, the North of England Biennial
for two year olds, the Prince of Wales Stakes, and two
other two year old races. The entries fur the Great Ebor
were not so numerous by 10 as last year, but, all things
considered, it seems a pretty fair acceptance when 27 stood
out of the 64 horses weighted. No very large field need,
however, be expected to run, as the following stables have
two representatives :—Whitewall, Cape Flyaway and
Q. E. D. ; Mr. Saxon's, The Monk and Bally Edmond •
Col. Towneley's, Doefoot, and Hubert ; Lord Glase-oae.:
The Drake and black mare by Voltigeur out of Mak-eless-
Godding's, Laughing Stock and Fitz-Eva; while the vete:
ran trainer of Ashgill has no fewer than five in his charge,
viz,, Lady Trespass, Viscount Brignall, Springwell, York-
minster, and King of Kars. The weights remain in state
quo, consequent on Ivanhoff, who carries the statutable
weight of Bst 121 b, accepting, and though his impost ap-
pears heavy for a four year old, he is not unfavourably in,
considering that he beat Tim Whiffler at Manchester,
giving him 181 b, which is like putting the Goodwood Cup
winner in hero with 7st lib, or 41b more than Carisbrook, a
weight Tim would doubtless carry to the goal successfully
were he engaged. From the state Fairwater was in at
Goodwood, she cannot now be fit; besides, taking
the line through Tim Whiffler, it is not on the
cards for her to beat Ivanhoff. Flyaway, it will
be recollected, carried Bst 71b for this event last
year, and ran a fair third to Rising Sun and Lady Tres-
pass, giving them respectively 121 b and 51b, and he now
has to carry only Bst 91b, or equal weights with the latter,
which insures his beating Mr. Hudson's mare. Moreover,
it must be borne in mind that neither Bally Edmond nor
Virgilius had then any chance with him, though they re-
ceived 261 b and 311 b respectively, from which it must be
inferred that none of the 3-yr-olds can now beat him. That
Lord Derby's horse has retained his form this year was
proved at the York Spring Meeting by his beating Virgi-
line, Lady Ripon, and some others in a canter, and later by
his performance at Nottingham, where, though he failed to
pull through, it must be recollected that he was giving
Atherstone, who has shown the best handicap form of the
year, no less than 131 b, which, over so trying a course, was
not to be done with impunity. The Monk being engaged
\
in the Chesterfield, he will probably take his chance for
that race, and leave his master's interest to the care of
Bally Edmond, who being bred both by sire and dam—
Bantam and Chaseaway—to stay, must have a great chance,
aompared with the top weighted horses, he carries no
mle than a 3-yr-old weight. Doefoot is rumoured to be
"off," and Dulcibella cut such a bad figure at Stamford,
that, if her running there was correct, she can have no
chance. Carisbrook got at Liverpool more than a 51b
beating from Fairwater; he consequently cannot beat
Ivanhoff, who can surely give 31b to Mr. Cartwright's filly.
Schism's day is past, and Watchfire, independent of his
not being within llb as good as Carisbrook, cannot hope
to beat Q. E. D., giving her 191 b, when at Goodwood all
he could do was to beat her at the difference for sex, and
would not even have succeeded in doing that had not Ald-
croft been disappointed. If Viscount Brignall failed to
show any form in Reeves' hands at Epsom,
he won't be
improved by galloping on either the high or the low
moor at Middleham. Conundrum and the Drake are both
troubled with the slows. Springwell was once good, but so
few patched up horses ever retain their action, it
will be as well to leave him alone till seen at the post.
Laughing Stock cannot beat his stable companion Fitz-
Eva, who being so much better in here than at Wolver-
hampton, where his stable companion Millionaire did duty,
may get a place. Yorkminster cannot complain of his im-
post, but is all to pieces. Makeless has often been as favour-
ably weighted as now without distinguishing himself.
Neither Rufus nor Dorking has ever shown himself to be
worth much, but I am told the former will run well.
Q. E. D.'s form, judging through her performance with
Watchfire, is not good enough to pull through such a race
as this. Pembroke has incurred a 101 b penalty, but even
with that he is almost certain to be one of the first three, if
not the actual winner. The winner, I have no doubt,
will be
