TETRATEMAS TWO THOUSAND GUINEA GUINEAHow How the First of tbe Classics Was Run and Al lenbys Bold Showing The Two Thousand of this year was an extremelj interesting race and although Tetratema won il there was that in the manner of his accomplishment of the feat that cast doubt on his ability to win over the longer Kpsoni Derby distance next month I Something of this may be gleaned from Tin Special Commissioners readable description and comment in London Sportsman of the followiii day dayIt It is over now and Tetratema has won so that many people are entitled to say I told you so1 and I at any rate must admit having been mis ¬ taken so far but I dont think I should have been had the distance been a furlong farther In other words Allenby was getting uncommonly busv in the last hundred yards and Carslake must have been thankful when he got first past the post bv a half length Considering that Allenby had not run for a year his performance was a remarkable one and he looks like beating the winner next time timeOrpheus Orpheus ran well bnt could only finish fourth behind Paragon which was a model of perfect condition Lacrosse which also pleased all crtics finished fifth so that the fancied goods were thereabouts excepting Silvern which was seventh though to my mind he looked much better than at Newbnry It should be noted here that although the going was firm and good the race was a slow run one the time being 143 which would of course suit a colt of Tetratcmas speed and as it was his final run only just lasted until past the post the right place no doubt but Allenby was certainly going better at that point pointA A PADDOCK INSPECTION The paddock view before tlc race was inter ¬ esting and nothing was mor admired than the gieat goodlooking Archaic which may do real things later in the ear It is difficult to form any trustworthy opinion of a gray horses condi tcu but Telratema did not strike me as much improved since Newbnry though h s beautiful a i MH psnniot iirt SYifisfy Tinyjie Mount Jioval Mid Orpheus were as fit as inything in the field and the former of these is a really grand colt iiore attractive than his slaHe companion but there was no doubt about Orpheus being preferred Some of the runners were moderate such as The Giffer and the leggy Marshal Neil being out of place in a classic race but the gray Caligula which was not even colored on the cird is quite a good strf Daylight Patiol is a his chestnut colt which cantered down in rare style Polymagnus is not attractive and Swynbiuns forejoints leave much to desire Allenby is a true Itavardo but one of his hocks is a little faulty anil this no doubt is inherited from his lain Tagalie though In has not inherited her faint heart He seems to mo to have a firstrate chance of winning the DC i by At any rate on his running today he looks like beating Tttratema wherever they fin i li liTodays Todays result was due mainly to Carslake who adopted the Sloan tactics of waiting in ficnt and the other jockeys must have lacked knowledge of the pace just as Sloans opponents used to do in the early day It is a matter of certainty that a colt with siicii speed as Tetratema possesses must needs win if he can set his own pace and that too over any distance Todays IMC was not a truly run one and Carslake oiiite outwitted the opposition Tho time of the race i evidence to prove this statement which is there ¬ fore not merely a matter of my opinion or any one elses Silvern was one of the first beaten and that is really unaccountable The outstanding factor in this Two Thousand Guineas however is the running of Allenby whose trainer Linton deserves immeasurable credit for having done so well with him under most disadvantagcous condi ¬ tions The hock already referred to was injured more than a year ago and though the colt is now unite sound there is nothing in the stable to lead him Mr Uaphael would do wll to secure a suit ¬ able horse for this purpose forthwith forthwithALLENBY ALLENBY AND THE DERBY DERBYI I do not think there is much use in my writing about the other races of today though I anticipated llif winners of the first and last I may state however that a bet of 2010 to 00 was taken about Allenby for the Derby and that seems to me to be a good bet for the taker At the same time we must not forget Sarchedon whose home superi ¬ ority to Paragon is I believe great indeed and tiiiugh I know on sure authority that Sarchedon is still regarded by the stable as untrustworthy I cannot but think that he earned this reputation without really deserving it At any rate he looks frr more like a Derby winner than Tetratema though the latter has done the trick today and no amount of argument will get over that The logic of the stricken field is always worthy of most csrcfnl consideration considerationSummary Summary of the race The Two Thousand Guineas Stakes 302riO for threeyearolds Itowley mile Maj I McCalmonts gr c Totratema by The Tetrareh
