On the Tuesday before the Cesarewitch, Merman did a good gallop, according to the sporting writer of the L.V. Gazette, but that tipster selected tit. Cloud 11. for the race, with Keenan, Merman, History and Limasol the most prominent of the others. “ The Aristocratic Tout,” writing about Merman stated he would not have him on his side, because, in his opinion, the Australian could not stay more than a mile and a half. Tipsters in England can evidently go just as wide of the mark as those in Australia.
