Maalesh’s Prospects w^ s withdrawn from the Lightning Handicap, and C. S. Donald will rely on Maalesh, which will probably be ridden by G. Withers, In the mile saddle event at Addington on Saturday. An aged gelding by Maxegin from Solon Wrack. Maalesh has recorded two wins in five starts this season, and on the form he showed to win the Electric Handicap of one mile' from Worthy Prince at Oamaru on May 11, he should be hard to beat over the same distance this week. Should Win Races

With better luck in the running, Glowworm would have troubled the dead-heat-ers, Cullion and Indigo, in the Lyndhurst Trot Handicap at the Ashburton Racing Club's meeting on Saturday. Driven by his new trainer, W. R. Butt, the Grattan Loyal gelding made up most of his 36 yards handicap in the first half-mile, to. be handy to l the leadefs, Sure Catch, Lodestone, Abel Tasman, and Indigo; but he lost his balance and went back through the field. Once he settled down he quickly made up ground to be in tenth position with a mile covered. Glowworm gradually overhauled the leaders, and finished with a powerful run in the straight to earn third money? In the circumstances he recorded a specially good effort, and he looks a bright prospect for the Improvers’ Handicap at Addington on Saturday. Taking Time

The Addington trainer, J. E. Mcßride, who has been connected with the trotting sport for many years, is spending a lot of time on his four-year-old mare by Lusty Volo from Voluntary, and she should be well worth the trouble that he is taking with her, as she shows some ability in her work. Bred by Mr L. Hes, Sockbum, Voluntary (a winner herself) is by Rey de Oro from Evolution, which is by Galindo from a Havelock mare. Finished Fast

Dainty Jewel was smartest away in the Hunua Handicap at Auckland, but at the end of half a mile Our Gail dashed into the lead, and passing the six furlongs post was closely followed by Too True, Durato. Whanako, Jorrocks, and Albert Tracey. Our Gail was challenged by Too True and Whanako with a furlong to go, and after a hard tussle Too True beat* Whanako by half a length. Our Gail being the same distance back third, with Jackaleite, which was slow away, fourth. The favourite, Gamester, never appeared as a possibility.
