Though the .death of Sir George Clifford was a severe blow to racing in New Zealand, as he had been the leading spirit in turf adminsitration for many years, as well as a leading owner, there will be general satisfaction that the famous blue and gold chequer jacket is not to be folded up. Before his death, Sir George expressed the wish that the racing stable should be carried on and no break is likely to occur. While the estate is being wound up, the horses will be controlled by the executors, and later it is the intention of Sir Charles Clifford to carry oil as an owner, under the old conditions, with the horses trained at Riccarton, as in the past, by Cutts brothers, of the Chokebore Lodge stables.
