TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.'
Sin,—The great northern event, the St. Leger, is fast
approaching, and it may be apropos for your readers for
me to make a few introductory remarks on that impor-
tant stake.
In the first place, the field, at the utmost, will not ex-
ceed fourteen, but much more likely to be from four to
eight, about six we'll say, to be selected from the fol-
lowing :—*Surplice, *Justice to Ireland, *Loadstone.
•Springy Jack, *Flatcatcher, Beverlac, The Stinger,
Voyager, *Canexon, Besborough, Blaze, Fern, Assault,
and Simoom colt. The identical six which I should take
as starters I have attached an asterisk to. Surplice's
superior performance in the Derby race has, to all ap-
pearance (barring accidents), settled the pretensions of
his St. Leger rivals, notwithstanding the bold front put
on lately by the son of Birdcatcher, who, some think,
will yet do justice to Ireland. Springy Jack, should his
legs stand the severe preparation necessary for his en-
gagement in the north, which I think they will, will be
the most dangerous of the crack's opponents, and certain,
if the pace is severe, to be a good second, if not first;
should the pace be slow nothing can prevent the son of
Touchstone and Crucifix from winning.
Of the forty-seven acceptances for the Goodwood
Stakes I consider Bantam, 7st. 121 b., Diplomatist, 7st.
111 b., Hydrangea, 7st. 71b., Chat, sst. 131 b., Remem-
brance, sst. 21b., Latitat, sst. 21b., and Alpheia, 4st. 101 b.
to be the best " in," and should take Bantam and the
three years old for choice.
For the Goodwood Cup I see nothing among the top
weights to beat the game little Hero, or among the light
weights anything that stands a chance with Gardenia:
The very select annual two-years old meeting on the
Heath of Newmarket " comes off " on Tuesday and two
following days; the list of sport is but meagre, but quite
up to the average.
The July Stakes, according to the betting, is " a cer-
tainty" for the Dutchman, but the old adage of " Many
a slip between the cup and the lip" will, I think, be
verified in this instance. The Jester, Sister to lodine,
and Herbert, will run well, as time will show.
The 100 Soya. Stakes will go into the pocket of the
Duke of Bedford with St.:Rosalia.
For the Chesterfield Stakes besides the Flying Dutch-
man, Cracow, and Lady Bibina, deserve attention.
In a week or two I shall take a peep into the Derby
of '49.—1 am, Sir. your's, &c.,
