TO Tiir,Nliploii 01 TILL out
SIR,—My calculations concerning the 2,000 Guineas
'takes were slightly deranged by the force of circum-
itMees, not by the merits of the winner; my selected
Dn°Y, the Mountain Sylph colt, now called Mountain
ear, having been thrown back in his work in cense-
of the accident to his foot, was, by no manner of
means
up to the mark; moreover, the ground was hold.
g, and to a horse not quite the thing that would prove
to
insurmountable bar to victory. Hernandez, the pitch
byerfn so far as training goes, won very cleverly
length. Glenlaawk was beaten a couple of lengths
tlYt3sUountain Deer for second place. The Confessor
h °uP with Glenhawk, an unplaced fourth. Buck-
k!nnd Midas and Cnmus ran home in company. .zEolus
Oleander were in difficulties early. Atter the race,
i° little was thought of the Mountain Deer's defeat, that
to 1 was taken
ai about him for the Derby, and the same
laid anst Hernandez; neither, to my thinking,
111 prove theg trump card on the Derby day. Kissaway
d
for,
th her powers of getting a distance in the race for
80 Queen's Plate by carrying the same weight as St. Ro-
eittite a(9Lit 81b), and beating her and Subterfuge in acommon
'3" five lengths over the RC., rather better than
see miles and a half. The Moor, 6 yrs. Bst 41b, in
3,44 form, defeated Uriel, 5 yrs, Bst 101 b, Vase, 5 yrs,
1-21111), Strongbow, 5 yrs, 7st 121 h, Theorem, 3 yrs, sst
, and two others, very cleverly in a spin over the
144 for a handicap sweepstakes of 10 sove. each. The
en's, stakes were wen very easily by Lord Exeter's
tiltiacracker, beating Tomboy and Bordeaux; the last
th„lborl the favourite. I have to make some slight al-
C.ations in the starting list for the 1,000 Guineas
, which will stand now as follows:
Fortuna, Phlegra (d), Anspach, Barcelona, Aprodite,
Liekstress, Pandora, Turtle, and Iris.: Pussy, Gay
44, Confidence, Christina. Mexico, and several others
°filo
tit account are scratched. My judgment still points
444111RODITE as the absolute winner; after her, to
1° well °r Anspach, as the second in command. I may
observe, that there is among the outside division
tiee or four respectable animals to choose from for
1) °lag shot, viz.:—Fortuna, Barcelona, Turtle, and
L,iift4clOra; the last named has never appeared in public;
o is well bred, being by Pantal )on out cot
S'Zia, by Camel. All doubts about Lady Evelyn's
ing at Chester were set at rest at 27 minutes past
Ch 4 Monday evening, by her being scratched for the
at that time. At a quarter-past 6 Teddington was
14t:ek out of his Newmarket Stakes' engagement. The
04 at betting this morning shows one or two new moves
'villa board; it is as follows:-1,000 Guineas-5 to 4
14 Aphrodite, 6 to 4 agst Iris, 6 to 1 agst Anspach, 10
isehagst Barcelona, 10 to 1 agst Trickstress. Newmar-
takes-6 to 4 on Balsamo and The Confessor, 5 to
sil'o tVather. Chester Cup-7 to 1 agst Rhesus, 9to 1
Bet
ktN The Black Doctor, 16 to 1 agst Montague (backed
it Newmarket yesterday at 14 to 1, and peppered stiffly
tt
anchester at all sorts of odds, from 14 to 25 to 1),
14" in great force at 15 tO 1, as was The Italian at
titearne odds, Woolwich and Backbiter were also in-
atifg,,d'after. Derby-7 to 1 each The Prime Minister
keddington, 11 to 1 agst Hernandez, 13 to 1 agst
I`oo°llstain Deer, 40 to 1 offered to " a sum" agst Light-
