Commenting on the results of rs
- e^nt important races in the OldCoun-.
try,. 'Pilot;' in .the 'Beferee,' wrote
as follows on May 5: —
The first of the important : English.;
three-5'ear-old races, the Two Ttwa
sand Guineas, vras rtm receml}', and
was- won by Tetrcttema by three
lengths, the other place-getters being
Allenby (Bayardo — Tagalie) and Para
gon (Radiran— Quintessence). Tetra
tema was beaten 'r-r Silvern in the
Grsenham Stakes about three weeks
earlier, bat as that defeat did non cause
him to lose bis position as Derby
favorite it may, for some reason, have
been excasabie. Silvern quickly lost
the repatarton h« made by his defeat
of Tetraisma. as he was one oi the
unplaced in the Two Thousand. Tetra
tema, as is generally known, is p. grcey
colt, by tire Tetrarch from Scotch
Gift (Synriijgicm — ^Maamd). Tetra
tema is consefjaeotly half-brothsr To
HaJf-a-Glags (by Isinglass), who is
now in Queensland, Half-a-Glass, at
bis best, could run a good 11 furlongs,
but fca& no liking- for anything beyciwi
it, and some of ;he English critics
were of opinion Tetratem3. would n^t
get a mile and & half. Perhaps they
are ncsv inclined to. modify tbeir opin
ions on that score, I^ast season Tet
ratemfc was not defeated, wixmingr i?v«
rac&a and. £20,951 in stakes. A line
record, taut not equal to that of his
sire. The '.Petrarch, who was also un
beaten as a two-year-onl, and -whose
seven wins at that age, returned £13,
336 in stakes. Tetratema vcas net
foaled until April 27 — wjnivalent to
November 27 in .the Australian seewm
— and as the season progresses he may i
make greater improvement than some j
of the other pi«omiiient three-year- j
olds. For the sake of English back- i
.. ers, it is to be coped Tetratema does :
not go -the way of last year's Tt«- j
Thousand Guineas' wiimer5 The 1-an- j
ther, who, -on the strength of Ma sec- }
?Jess In that race was banked down to |
5 to 3 fox the Derby, arrl tsus one of ;
zhe last four to finish.. i
In each substitute Derby nra at !
iVewmarket, backers fared well, Pom- j
tnera winning- at 11 to 10, Fifii-eHa at !
LI to 2, Gay Crusader at 7 to 4, ani j

.nfcg- at 10 Oto 1 in 1915, Dnrbar IL at !
if} to 1 in lyii, and Grand Parade ?% \
33 to 1 last year. Carslake was on |
Tetratema in the Two ThousrmQ,' and '
will' be' on him in the Derby, a race in
which' an Australian rider has j-fct to
b^ successful. Carslake must be
wearing- particularly well, seeing it is
15 years since we saw him win the
Doncaater Handicap at Sandwick oa
Famous, and. be was fairly heavy tbt?i.
Allenby ran iwlce last season for a
first and a third, acsS Paragon six
times for two firsts, two seconds and
a third. The latter was sold ±-s a
., yearlinG for 720 gnineas, and Teira
teroa and Afienby were bred by their
respective owners. Paragon is not
hi tb© Derby, fcoit Alienby i?, ar.d is
second fesc&me at about noable the
odds on offer against Teiratema.
Sarclw-ioi- is third in demand, with
Prince Galabaxi next, while Oraheus,
for wbxmx an American offer of f 20,G0t
waa refused at the cammencem-mc of
tbe. year, is now at a rather long price.
He has evidently not come up to ex
pectations. --
