RESULT OF THE DERBY AND OAKS.—Youatt
William Gray is confident of winning and placing two out
of thiee for the Derby and the Oaks. Take his advice, and
get on the two named for places—fin t, second, or third.
You can get 20 to 1 each for places. This is better than
backing the favourite at 2 to Ito win. I have watched
every move at Bath and Harpenden, but what I have seen
there has not altered my opinion. Do not be alarmed or
timid in doing as I suggest. This is another Daniel
O'Rourke, Ellington, and Blink Bonny move. Terms—
Derby and Oaks, 2s. Gd. ; the full meeting, ss. Please to
supply stamped-addressed envelopes. Address, 15, Charing-
cross. Information will be sent up to the last post on
Tuesday.
