ANTICIPATIONS. BY " SOMNAMBULIST," ,ON
THE DERBY AND OAKS.

The present Derby Stakes has by far the most ntlme-
rous nomination ever recorded on its list, and will to-
merrow settle its own fate and that of thousandi of
pounds; yet, although the nutainer of horses may appear
great, the betting book-mak,rs will have no great bargain
of their business, as only one-third of the horses engaged
have ever had a price in the market. titig—should all
be wrong in the way of winning—will help ei do wonders,
as also will Tom Tulloch. Sir Tation will to well, bat
at present may be taking some folks in : his price is only
to catch " flats," as it is expected; but the " flat" may
prove sharper than the " shark," for aught I know. If
Fancy Boy should cut the same figure as the winner of
the Dee Stakes in 1845. what will become o. his backers?
" Done tor a ducat," and "no misteke." Dawson's
best horse always runs worst—how is it? Humdrum has
had the opportunity of iinprovieg under good tuition, but
I doubt if the school can have roved him, or if.ever
he waned : he is a good horse, and will yet see a better
day. The Pen colt will, I am told, make the people
wonder ; and certainly 1 shall do so should he .win.
iJyrrhus the Firs. has performed well. It is hard to tell
what Conjuror can do, but to deceive a field of thirty is
hardly possible, even if he be got by the Wizard of the
North. Crown Prince will very nen, Iv justify his cogno-
men. Poynton is said to be very good, but he is not good
enough to win, I think. Carrtley i 3 able. shaild he be
Brocatdo, the best of Scott's rot the day. wind
! Premier nowlure. Nu'leaf will be near by. Ginger
may bite hard, but will rim soft. All the rest, except
lag i, are u-eless. BIIOCARDO WILL WIN.
The Oaks list is long, and many are the horses arrived;
but the lot may confine itself to M n.dicant Vanish
2d, and Osprey 3d, or come what Ili fiV he the finer. tinn.—
Yours, &c. SOMNAMBULIST.
