The destruction of his promising filly, Quaecee, was followed by Footfall- having to be withdrawn from the N.Z. Cup through soreness. /■■ . Then Starshooter went wrong , on the eve of the Dunedin Guineas, and Chide, which was showing winning form, developed soreness and could not start ' at the New Zealand Cup meeting. . Sor George' had only two horses to represent his stable at the meeting and neither ran up io true form. > George, like many others'.who^ have been m the game so long, takes his reyerses philosophfcally. •.,■■-,■■• He hopes to make an assault on Auckland at the end of the year with a team that will most likely include Footfall which appears to be right again.
