THIN: SEASON

Baronet Has Poor Team (From "N.Z: .Truth's" . Christchurch r ' % Rep.) Though his name will remain evergreen oorn r the turf, Sir George Clifford, has not lately appeared among the .list, of winning owners with such frequency as was the case m former 1 years. VERY little success came his way last y racing season, but he will be represented m early spring racing by three three-year-olds which look like doing fairly well. < None of them had much -racing as two-year-olds. * Disorder, after dead- heating with Eaglet m the Trentham Plunket Nursery, ran one third and two unplaced performances. The Cutts brothers are getting them into decent shape for spring racing. It appears that the pVesent blood Sir George has m his stable has exhausted its usefulness and ,the arrival of ,Day Corpet's stock might bring a welcome change.
