The Middle Park Plate-Dead Heat Be
tween Kaiser and surinam.
LONDON Oct 20, 1872.
The result OF the Middle Park Plate, founded by
the late Mr.. BenkirOn, the owner Of the celebrated
breeding stud lately dispersed to Middle Park near
London, is always looked forward to with extreme
interest for the reason that the betting on the
Derby OF next Summer, all through the Winter,
depends mainly on It, There is o two-year-old race
in about fortnight; the Criterion Stakes
also run at Newmarket, which has almost
equal influence; but the issues Of these two
contests viii rule the betting on the two thousand
guineas Derby for the next nve months. The added
money in the Middle Park Plate was for some years
given by Mr.. Blenkiron, and was f1,oOO; but the
Jockey Club, who subsequently took the reponsi-
blity on his shoulders, reduced 1t to f5OO. The
stake ls, however, still valuable one, adding up
in the aggregate rule to f3, 900, and as it
is the ambition of most owners Of horses to win it
the best youngsters Of the year are entered for It,
On the last Middle Park Plate day rain fell in tor
rents, and large portion of the vast heath was
turned into perfect quagmire by the hoofs Of in
Vulnerable horses and the wheels Of countless car
