THE DERBY LOT AT DANEBITRY.
As next week will plunge us racing men into the thick
of the season, which, from then till NoveLaber, with the
exception of the week following Epsom —a necessary
vacancy after the excitement of the Derby and Oaks--
presents an uninterrupted string of meetings, I must
bring my Derby analytical notes to a conclusion as soon
as possible, my attention being required oat more Pres.
ing matters. I shall now review
JOHN DAY, Jurt.'w
string of Derbyites, at Danebury, leadins a off tri,tll
their crack, the redoubtable CINEAS, a 31). c., nY.
Touchstone or Epirus, out of Velleda, nominated
by Mr. Powney, who made his deb& a.t Bath on
the 18th of last May, in the rac e for the
Biennial Stakes, which he won in the mot it absurd of
canters, beating Stella (second) and Content) neut. The
latter was more than half distanced. Th .e first offer
against him for the Derby was made at Ta ttersall's on
the 3d of June, but being only 20 to 1 little ; or nothing
was done. His second and last appearance i a public, up
to the present time, was at Stockbridge, for the Trien-
nial Stakes, where, carrying Bst 71b, with 2 to 1 betted
on him, he finished a bad fourth to Sylpli Me, Bst slb,
Placid, Bst 51b, being second, and Cuckoo illy, Set 21b,
an indifferent third. For very potential.. reasons this
race must be set down as nil. He was -ery
supported at about his opening price until Novemba,
when a most determined demonstration wa; I made against
him at the Turf Club. All sorts of odds b 3 all sorts oer f
sums being laid against him. On the 20th X Novemb,
he was actually without backers, and 1,0 00 to 30 went
begging. Since then he has gradually r a
ecovered kis
former position • and within the last few -eeks, upon •
steady outlay, has advanced to 12 to 1. His present
price may be quoted at 15 to 1, having de. lined slightly
last week. He has been backed to •w in close upon
100,0001. He is, without exception, of le of the finest
horses in the Derby. He stands nearly, if not quitet
16 hands, has large quarters, with an immense
stride, and is evidently a most dangerous ; animal to be
against. The only point he is deficien *; in, and that •
only to a trifling extent, is speed. H c will, in all
probability, be about the first favourite it the start.
Mr. Hill's b c IRELAND'S EYE, by Ha rkaway out of
Alma's dam has run thrice, and been defeated on each
occasion. Is a small horse, and of n o use for the
Derby.
Mr. Hill's ch c LAMBAY by Harkawa: r, out of Fidget
is out of training.
Mr. Arnold's br c THE ADJUTANT, by' Touchstone out
of Parade, nominated by Mr. Copeland, has never run,
and is of no use for the race under consid cration.
Mr. Featherstonhaugh's br c by Cotb kerstone out of
Maid of Lorette, has never run, and is a u si better animal
than the preceding.
Sir J. B. Mill's ch c, by Hetman Plr 'toff out of In-
fidelity, nominated by Mr. Lumley, has run twice, been
defeated each time, and is a most inferior • animal.
A celebrity that was in this stable, nom mated by Lord
Strathmore, yclept ELMSTHORPE, purchas IE4I of the nomi-
nator by Mr. Howard, and transferred by • the latter gen'
tleman five or six weeks ago for 4,000 gui rieas, with con-
tingencies, died, on the Bth instant, of abscess on the
brain. His forfeits are but trifling, am punting only to
1401.
