SPORTING NOTES.

The scratching of Buccaneer, and the retrograde
of The Wizard for the Two Thousand Guineas, has

been looked upon with great suspicion ; and, when
such public performers as Traducer, Tom Bowline,
Lupulus, Brother to Rainbow, and Nicholas are

made the favourites I cannot but regard the race

as a most open one. The public will not have an
opportunity of witnessing on this occasion the
much vaunted Yankee clipper, Umpire, as he
was scratched this day at 11 a.m. The run-
ners, I expect, will comprise the following:—

Lupalus, The Rap, Richmond, Aurora, King of

Diamonds, Brother to Rainbow, The Wizard, St.
James, Nicholas, Traducer, Tom Bowline, and
Bivouac. John Scott is so celebrated for his Two

Thousand preparation, and Torn Bowline has
wintered so well, that, unless a frightful mistake
has been made in the trial, which took place

Last Wednesday, he ought to get his head first,

but I do not exp octhe will turn out the real "Simon
Pure" for t!e Derby. Traducer we saw fit as a
fiddle at Northampton, and the speed he showed in
the Spencer's Plate makes him out a racehorse.
Since then he has been put with Promised Land,
and done all that was required. There is no animal
in training at the present moment so fit or so well

as the Land, and the style in which he cut down

such horses as Eskdale and Red Eagle on Friday
proves beyond doubt he is the best horse of his
year. However, Traducer's performances as a two
year old were of such mediocre quality that I must
hold my allegiance from him. Lupulus, as ;far as
public running goes, is the best horse in

,he race, as witness his beating Thormanby,

Buccaneer, Madame Eglantine, Restas, and

a host of others too num.rous to niention

With Fordham on his back he ought to take his

place at the finish before the others, and the only
reason I don't trust him in preference to the rest is that
he has been so unhealthy in the betting. Whether
people lay because they don't think he can stay, or
from other cause, I cannot state ; but certainly his
chance is far greater on his merits than the ring
estimate, and if he were to come again I should be
very sweet upon him. Brother to Rainbow will
improve upon his performance at the last Newmar-
ket meeting, and I will be much disappointed if he
does not get a "situation." The King of Diamonds,
as a Champagne winner, has pretensions that must
not be overlooked ; and although his being behind
Brother to Rainbow last week looks fatal to him, I
am satisfied he will run better this time. Richmond
is daily improving, but I have seen nothing yet to
justify my belief in his winning. St. James ought
to perform in a superior style to his last exhibition,
for they said then it was like Cynricus' running.
And if the Saint was to come up to that pitch the
race would be virtually over; but I despair of such
a revolution being effected in him. Lord Zetland's
team are all so backward they can have no chance,
and the Rap is to run untried, so he will have no-
thing but his good looks to recommend him. It
would be difficult to find a better public performer
among the "certain" starters than Aurora, who was
always there or thereabouts" last season in the
best of company, and were Thormanby to partici-
pate in this encounter he would not have 71b. the
best of her. The Daneburyites are said to be very
fond this time, and as her defeat of Contadina,
Thormanby, King of Diamonds, Trovatore, &c., for
the Clearwell, which race betrayed her thorough
gameness, cannot be overlooked, I am inclined to
suppose her pretensions equal to those of the
favourites, no matter what figure she stands at in
the market. As John Scott is always so formidable
in this race I will not desert him on this occasion,
and will anticipate seeing the horses placed by the
judge in the following order :
TOM BOWLINE
KING OF DIAMONDS 2
BROTHER TO RAINBOW
Luff managed to finish at Antonio's head Across
the Flat last autumn, from the latter not being
capable of travelling a distance, and he ought, conse-
quently, to gallop her down for the 300 Soya Sweep-
stakes over the four-mile Beacon Course. Comforter
is in such a form that he may be entrusted to carry
9st 111 b for the Free Handicap on the T.Y.C. I
may also safely charge the Coffee Room Stakes to
Petruchio, and the 25 Sovs Sweepstakes to Little
Lady, while the juvenile Glenluce need be only
moderate to beat his elder brother on the T.Y.C. at
two stone for the year.
Pandora appeared to mend a little last autumn,
and is worth standing against Tight Fit with 111 b
in the RM., it being a near thing between them, as
is also the I). M. Handicap, with Harry Stanley,
and the best of the Americans—probably Cock-a-
Hoop, who must be made the favourite against
Harry, at a stone for the year; but the half-mile
and A. F. Sweepstakes have every appearance of
proving certainties for Actaeon and Thunderbolt,
as Thormanby is not likely to oppose the latter
before the Derby day.
For the One Thousand on Thursday I prefer the
chances of SAGITTA and CONTADINA.
