Flamboyant 2, Ballyheron 3. Golden Myth was ridden by Elliott, Flamboyant by Lister, ami Ballyheron by. Carslake. There were 10 starters, Gohlen Myth winning by threequarters of a length. Four lengths separated second and third horses. The. M est Coasters Elite and Cole Drift did no good at the Addington meeting, and much coin was spent by (’oast backers as the result. They contend. however, that the money is only lent. Some pvople are optimistic, and 1 suppose it is only right they should be so. Fore is being got into good shape by Trainer Alburn. His legs have fined down nicely during lhe past fortnight, and his connections arc confident that he will stand another preparation. If he does some of the competitors in the events in which he starts will have to go fast to head him, as before he went wrong he was doing everything asked of him. Hickton has Osier Tn great heart, and the little Willowwood gelding never looked better. No doubt his next essay will be at Addington in August, when the track should be to his liking.
