Thousand Guineas was long way behind
Petrarch. and for the matter OF that, Ju-
Illus Cesar also. 1t is said that In the
hitter horse the Prince Wales last year had some
share, and that he sold him when he went to India.
Be this as 1t may, 1t Is certain tina tls horse
changed hands ut that time Robert Pr giving
sl7,300 for him. 1t was Il " fne s-me that
Mr.. Peck was acting on beh riel Duke OF
Westminster, but this was the Two
Thousand Guineas Julius caa ks own
colors, and very worthily, too second.
1t was anticipated that he won better
show to-day, as it was alleged csln at
Newmarket he was not nearly lie
IL big fine horse but not alN ON,
and he generally runs in blinke .A had
also Forcranner engaged, and m. -, minds were ex
ercised as to whether he might not be the better
OF the pair.
Wild Tommy, big, strapping customer, belonging
to the Duke OF Hamilton, had many enemies. 1t was
argued that horse standing seventeen hands high
would be at fault in making the descent at Tatten-
ham Corner. The Duke Of Hamilton at one time
thought differently, and backed him to win 100000;
but toward the finish Of the race he was by no
hopeful.
The most dangerous antagonist to the favorite
it was generally considered was the winner Of the
race the colt by Buccaneer out OF Mineral belonging
to some very shrewd Hungarlans. This youngster
though Of English parents, was bred by the Emperor
Of Austria, who about ten years ago purchased
Buccaneer for comparatively small sum. Later on
he made an equally fortunate purchase in Mineral
whose foals ttat she lcft behind in England,
developed into one Of the best horses Of
the season and won the ST. Leger. This
was wenlock. The Mineral colt the name he was
known by then, ran four times last year, but won
only once, The Dewhurst Plate, race Of consider
able value. Uncharitable people say that the
Mineral Colt won as often as he was wanted and
certainly the Hungarians have been running In and
out with their horses.
There were rumors that Advance would prove o
good outsider, but after he had been beaten in q
minor race, he was sent to an extreme price.
There were no lilies OF any note in the entry, nor
did the French division show anything like bold
'front.'
