THE DONCASTER ST. LEGER

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDAI

Si R—The race for the "Great St. Leger,

is rendered in our "Crack" and aristocratic circles,

leger." if not the most important of the year, is certainly tt

most interesting, as it generally happens—as in this i

—that the chief Derby competitors again come forth to attest
the merits and genuineness of their former running, on the
more severe course of Doncaster. .

Kith regard, then, to this event, which most people are
aware comes off to-morrow, 1 shall at once, without pre-
liminary comment, proceed to remark upon the several on
dits or entre nous which have of late been vented forth with
such perspicuity throughout the length and breadth of our
sporting communities.
One of these " incomprehensibilities" is, that a certain
outsider (a Derby horse) was coming forth, of whom is enter-
tained the greatest expectations, not only from the stable,
but by the neighbouring locality, i.e., the sportsmen who
have lately been lucky to back the stable previously when in
eood "cue." Another, that my Lord John Scott was bent

upon showing the public, and the Yoricsniremen in rarucuiar,
what his Reiver can do when in `genie." A third, the
reason " why," Cineas was kept so quiet. Next, how
Rataplan had been since his last figuring-off in public; and
fifthly, and lastly, how, that some people had mooted, and
whether or not it was true that the favourite had been, if
anything, receding, or that he certainly was no better a horse
than at Epsom •, whilst of his Grace's it was said that the
change in him for the better had been, and is palpable ; in
short, whether or not, by reason of these changes, Sam.
Rogers, fluttering the purple and buff stripe on Sittingbourne,
could just manage to turn the tables on the crack to-morrow.
Well, respecting the first of these, I may at once observe,
that a certain nobleman has not a horse in this race or in his
stable, that could live at all with such horses as Sittingbourne
or West Australian : so the Marquis of Exeter's chance must
be vetoed. The Reiver is said to have much improved ; but
a " potioned" and " patched" horse, as he needs must be,
never can win a St. Leger.
There is ample reason for Cineas' quietude if he has been
coughing, and I can readily believe it of him ; for he is a
horse that requires a prodigious amount of attention, or he's
soon off it; however, even should the rumour be incorrect, I
do not think myself he is like y to run so well for a Leger, as
a Derby, as the course of the latter is more suitable: I think
no one need fear him then. Now as regards Rataplan, of whom

more iil.the gewmarket style,

anti, therefore,

more a Leger horse, than not ; he has continued in capital
fettle ever since the Derby, and is,—or was the other day—in
prime order ; and as he was tally ridden in the Derby, having
been "let out" too late, he will be doubtless improved upon
to-morrow, and may, therefore, be close by the side of the
winner. We now come to the predicable point at issue, and
from which I shall take my stand to prognosticate; and this
is the last question, as with reference to the truth of the
statement, whether I am justified in arriving at the inference.
Now. it has all along been questioned whether the Derby was

nose who dec

achieved easily, or otherwise
dedly are of opinion that it was not won easily. To-morrow
will show whether lam correct, or not. Well, having reason
to believe that West Australian and Frank Butler had each
their work to accomplish, to pull through the Derby, I contend
that, (even supposing the horses possess the same unaltered
racing qualities which they then possessed.) on account of the
different course, which Is more suitable to Sittingbourne than
the tender-footed West Australian,7-the latter being un-
