A few men are reported to have won large sums over Forest Motley, 1-40 to 1 chance, was supported by the few who had known that the colt in a private gallop had} shown superiority at the weights to Winalot. M.-P. Rail, the oviner, is well known in financial circles' in the city, Confirmation carried the hopes of the very speculative divi-ton connected with Tabor's Epsom able. Tt was the first occasion' pon which Motley had competed for ouch a long distance, and the! three-year-old put up an exceedingly! fine. performance.
The Macomber people were a anguine as sensible folk could b and it is said that many betted their maximum just as hopefully the occasion when Rose Prince! scored. They had no doubt regarding the horse's great stamina, and their belief was amply vindicated in the result, for after more than two! miles had been traversed Foresti! drew clear and, galloping up the! final furlong on the ascent, comfortably disposed of Motley. The latter had made up a lot of ground before delivering the final chal-Tenge, and obtained second place by a neck in front of Confirmation.
The erstwhile favourite, Bellman, right to the close carried' the com: plete confidence of Mr. Frank Carzon's party and that of many of the shrewdest judges at Newmarket, But Bellman never emerged from} the rearmost rank, and indeed showed signs of dislike to the going to such an extent as to cause suspicion that he had broken down. In the earlier stages Golden Brick, the Irish horse Voltoi, Confirmation and the French candidate, Any: IM, raced in front of Forest Transvaal Il, Winalot, Mundelieu, Seradella, Motley, and Vaudricourt, Great excitement was aroused among the partisans of Confirmation,, Foresti, Mandelieu, Winalot, and" Deradelia, so well were all wavelling at that historic landmark known as the Hughes, but several the bottom of the dill, where the of dem. faltered" before reaching inning, effort of: Poresti was made. to' the complete, discomfiture London, Oct. 15.) of Motley and Confirmation. It wrise Was rather surprising to see Juldi pulled out after her very severe race 24 hours previously. The filly could scarcely be expected to do more than show a natural resentment for this second task. At any rate, what ever the reason, Juldi unseated her Jockey, Murch, in the course of the contest.
There was a difference of 5 points in the two "oficial" starting price returns, Foresti being quoted at 20-1 and 25-1. That is a difference fof opinion with @ vengeance—but not one which is to the liking of the rank and file of racing men. Mandelieu the favourite was returned at 11-2 and 5-1, Winalot at and 9-1, and Miwani at 50-1 and 200-1, only 150 points difference!
Later in the afternoon Beasley fetlowed up his win on Foresti by taking the Select Stakes on Twelve Pointer, so well fancied for the Cambridgeshire; the Duke of Wes minster's horse won by six lengths after starting at a shade of odds an Other Races Apart from the Cesarewiteh the racing has been interesting without being startling. It was unfortunate for the Kempton Park Executive that a thick mist should have hung over the course and that a good deal of the race for the Duke of York Handicap could not clearly be. made out from the stands. Tt was on in the most ridiculously easy fashion by Lord Derby's horse Pharos, who had a margin of six lengths to spare over Lord Rosebery's Joy Rider, Lord Coventry' Verdict finishing third, two lengths off, with Purple Shade fourth. Pharos won.the race in a canter, last year, and went on to win the Champion Stakes at Newmarket a few days later The Imperial Produce Stakes is one of the most valuable two-year-old races of the season run on any course except Ascot. The result is. that it almost invariably attracts some of the bet first season animals in training. Friday's field included Legionnaire, Moti Mahal, Apply Sammy, Comedy King, and Tolgus, all recent winners.
