Quite a number of track gallops were borne out by results at Ellerslie on Wednesday, but the value of a number of others was discounted badly by the lack of form of the horses on the day. The gallops of King Lupin and Hymestra, the deadheaters in the Railway. Handicap, were extremes that met. King Lupin registered the best six furlongs before the meeting, and Hymestra was beaten in four and five-furlong sprints each time. He would not have been as good a favourite as his stable companion, Nanna, in th© race had they been running in d’fferent interests.
