SPORTING NOTES.

I • fancy his chance for the 0 J.C. very much, | Cock ,e. 1 look upm. -j the most promising : coir in .'he team, lie sin ides away in grand ‘ •tylo, and I'm ranch mistaken it he does nut turn out a clinker. Old Tam went about thi#e miles with the clothing on, Fishhook (stripped) accompanying him the greater part of the journey. They finished up at a good pace, anu Tam pulled up sound, , u .d well. It is quite on the cards, it Ran keeps the old horse right, that he may have another out in this meeting, for Tam has done a lot of work, and improves fast. Kory O'Mora and King JTiilip went a steady gallop three times retina the plough, Rory strip ed. The latter is quite a different look- I ing hor.-e from the annual who came down j here for the Autumn Meeting. He has wintered well, and the rest hj ;s done him a lot of good, He has not finished shedding his coat yet, which gives him rather a ragged look, but he moves freely and well, and if he be anything like as fist c.b they m.ike him out, he ought to be amongst the first flight for the C.J.C. ; bub recollecting some others in the same race who are doing woodwork, and who I know moro about than the Victorian, I cannot, as I said before, see in him such a aertainty as some of them seem to fancy him. King Phdip has lengthened and improved g-eatly, but in work he is a regular loafer. I’m told in a race he runs freer, and if anyone can make him go Harry Goodman can. The colt is well bred enou hj for any thing, and seems, from what we have seen of him, to come at the right end of a race. I fancy be ought to be very near about for the Cup. Rob Ray, who had stripped some o( his lot in the road, n-.-xt turned up and started Satmella, Daniel O'Rourke, and Tattler in compHny at a, good pace. They went once round, Tattler leading for about half a distance, when Dan went up and seemed to have rather the best of it; coming home Saianella acaimdy impressed one vey favorably. Tm.-y go certainly in all forms, but at present I don’t like hor’s much. Kob then sent domiatniju-a and Tommy Dodd a stem.y perspirer t.w'.cc roumi, finishing up at a good pace.

I do not think Rwaolf improves

m his going, and Castilian is not grown much since last year. Ranolf will, of course, have imny fiiends if he comes to the post for the Cup in Webb’s be st condition, but travelling ta-o miles and a quarter is a different thine fi'vm getting through a six furlong spin, and I fancy Ranolf wil be found to prefer a mile to a longer distance. Castilian, ton, is not a great stiy v, hue he may scramble through a handicap, if the handicappcr is lenient, as a light weight will suit him bet’erlhan 8 t 101b. With regard to the Handicap, the more I see of the wo'k being done by fhejjjprses engaged in it, the mere I am convince t that .Rory O’Moi c and Guy Fawkes have all the best of it. Hercules will be here hi a few days, and the ;;tabh will of course soon know if lie can boat bis companion. It be Can, then they will in all probability go for him. but the maiket movements will soon show if this is the case. Rory’s chance I cannot ignore, but I must, repent ray conviction that Guy will bent him if the race is a run one ; the only doubt in my mind being if Guy can quite get two Hides comfo’tably. 'A i'h legaol to the Do by, none of Air Redwood's string, that run here at present, are any good. I fancy Air Delamain’s (illy will b- a', dr Shand’.s chcsnuts, though she may not. ho ...bb- to foot it homo wi ii ; ami. Tattler will e-‘t low cm. b-Th ’ bn b-in hi n strung run race, a d DaiiiT must s.iccurrn r-i f- mcfhing a little bigger. Though the race is so open I shall take an early plunge into prophecy and predict that Kami or Punenwoewere will bo the winner of the Derby of (87b. but I must not tovget -hat. Mr hialwuml is, bringing down Norali, by 'owtor, nut of uercule ’ (bun, end as I hear promising accounts nf this young lady, she may prove as troublesome as Raimi was last year.” The ‘ Druid’ reports that Tambonrini’s leg Ftamls well as yet, and it lias every appearance of keeping sound from hi» going, • e will be very warm in. the Cup; be must a place ; nothing can stop him. Rory O’.’.i »ro and the King went t-viee round at a rattling pace. The colt had clothing on, and the guiding w s stripped, with Harry Goodman up. The King I like, but I cannot fancy Rory will be so very dangerous as many think ho will bo. At present he is not one of my very strong favorites fortheC.J.C. Handicap, in spite of Ins being let in considerably under what he ought to have carried. Bob Kay stripped in the road by Mr Dixon’s, and sent Daniel O’Rourke, Tattler, and ''atanella for a regular gallop twice round on the plough. Little Daniel went as pretty as ever, and Tattler, who »■. emed to leave the worst of tlu- weights, stuck to the little horse gamely. Whatever may be srvd of this son of I >eception, he certainly runs game, and will he hard to shake off. Fatanella” with Bob up, was outpaced all the way, Ido not think she will see the way they go in the C. J.C, Handicap. It must, however, he mentioned that Rob was riding her at least two atone above "hat she will carry in the race, which will make a grent difference. The Hhnabe colt and Castilian were both stripped, and went twice round, a good gallop. I think his friends will be disappointed with th~ son of Phoebe, who, ever since his Champagne victory, has been made a very hot favorite for the Cup, The co t never was a very great favorite of mine for long ra es, and therefore I never expected to see him win the Cup ; and after his going yesterday morning, unless he very much improves, 1 do not think he will win it, I lie latest betting is—Derby ; 4 to 1 against Kauri ; sto 1 against Pansrawerewere; 7to 1 against Chief Blair Athol, and Daniel O’Rourke ; 8 to 10 any other. Canterbury Cup : 5 to 1 against Kauri, Phoebe colt, mid Tambouiini; 6 to 1 against Templeton, Guy Fawkes, and Pungawerewere ; 7 to 1 against King Philip an I the Chief; S and 10~to 1 against any other. G.J.C, Handicap : 7 to 2 against Rory O’More; 4 to 1 against Guy Fawkes ; 6 to 1 against Hercules and the Chief.
