SIR CAMERON FAILS
DISAPPOINTING EFFORT The Ihrce-year-old Sir Cameron sorely disappointed his admirers wher he ran unplaced in the President’s Handicap at Pukekohe on Saturday, "t was the general impression that he was better than at any previous stage of the season, and. in view of his "eccnl success at a mile and a half in 'he 11. O. Nolan Handicap at Ellerslie, his failure to reveal any dash at the finish, after being handy at the turn, was baffling. In his early racing Sir Cameron showed a dislike to racing n the rails, and possibly the fact that ''o was checked several times on the "ence might have prevented him from -reducing his best. However, the checks were not serious and he was -rominent enough at the turn to have taken a hand in the finish, which made his lack of dash all the more perplexing.
