SPORTING NOTES.

The result of " The Two Thousand" proved that
public running was a better guide than private
trials. The Wizard, from the easy manner in
which he won, has now become first favourite for
the Derby, and he will be a lucky man that pos-
sesses a better and a sounder horse. The Rap,
who ran untried and not half prepared, another of
John Scott's lot, obtained second honours. Tom
Bowline has proved in public that his form is no
better than it was last year. St. Albans won the
Newmarket Stakes with such ridiculous ease that
he must have a great chance for the big race at
Chester.

The great Chester meeting commences tomor-
row. The first race on the programme—the
Grosvenor Stakes—has yet to be entered for.
The Palatine Stakes appears a good thing
for Trovatore (31b. extra) or Butterfly. For the
Chesterfield Handicap, I prefer the chances of Ben
Webster and Maid of Orleans. Traducer's forward
position for the Two Thousand has, in a measure,
spoiled the three-quarters of a mile Wynnstay Han-
dicap, he having so much the best of the 3 -yr-olds ;
next to him Volcano, 4 yrs, Ist. 21b., looks tempting.
Big Ben or Folkestone ought to furnish the winner
of the Mostyn Stakes.
The Chester Cup is expected to bring out a large
number of horses, selected from the following :

I have set down, it will be perceived, 44 names,
from which, however, there will be unquestionably
some omissions, as two or three stables have more
than one representative 'in the list ; but, as there
may be some additions also, I feel confident we shall
have about 37 runners at the post. At the Notting-
ham meeting, on Feb. 21, we witnessed the easy
triumph of Wallace in the handicap, one mile and a
half, over a field of 14, the only old horses that
ran at all forward being Stapleton and Vigo, the
former at a difference of 321 b for the two years,
and the latter at 161 b for the year, and thus early
the three year olds showed the form they have
since retained almost throughout the whole of the
early campaign. At Lincoln, in the following
week, Vigo won, but as only three very indifferent
three year olds ran—The Gentle, Desmond, and
Kitty Kingston—no inference can be drawn in re-
spect of its result in favour of the four years
old, though, be it remembered, the distance—a
mile—is in favour of the young one. The Spring
Cup at Liverpool, in the succeeding week, wit-
nessed the three year olds again in the ascendant, but
on this occasion without much of a trial, as Apol-
lyon, carrying sst Gib, passed the winning post alone.
At Warwick, the highest scale of the handicap
proved no barrier to the success of a three-yr-old,
Danae having won quite as easily as did Apollyon
at Liverpool. Northampton saw the aged horses
with no better luck, four-yr-olds—Simple Simon,
sst 81b, Springwell sst 51b, Chance Shot sst 71b,
and The Pitman sst 121 b—having the finish to
themselves, as they had in the previous year.
Again, at Newmarket, the three-yr-olds car-
ried the day, and the manner Confectioner
and Man-at-Arms " spread-eagled" the field will
not be easily effaced from my memory ; Remu-
nerator only of the thirteen old horses which
contended that race being within hail at the
finish, whilst in the field was the St. Leger winner,
who was made to accord the winner 301 b for the
year. In the City and Suburban Lame' f the aged
horses were rather more leniently treated, and the
result was in favour of a four year old ; Apollyon
receiving 141 b from the winner, being second best,
not taking into account Lord Nelson, who I believe
only got where he did from the reasons above
stated ; and thus anomalously enough the two
short races, Lincoln and this, fell to four year olds.
The Metropolitan saw the light weighted three
year old St. Albans successful, Wallace, who had
101 b the worst of the weights with him, getting
home second, and Clydesdale, who for his two
years gave the winner 361 b, being third. Moura-
vieff, giving 291 b, finishing close up, though not
quite ridden out.
Of the old horses, Promised Land, Herne, Moura-
vieff, Tame Deer, Birmingham, The Squire, and
Petra appear the most favourably weighted ; while
the three-year-olds will be represented by Traducer,
Horace, Man-at• Arms, St. Albans, Blue Ruin,
Apollyon, Odo, The Prophet, and Weatherbound,
if they are all allowed to take a part in the contest.
The five best, to my liking, are Man-at-Arms, Long-
range, St. Albans, Apollyon, and Petra ; and the
winner, I expect, will be either
