ROSEHILL GUINEAS DAY The last of the important fixtures in Sydney preceding . the A.J.C. Spring Meeting will •be held at Rosehill tomorrow, and the New Zealand campaigners, who so far have failed to -win a single event at the metropolitan Saturday meetings, will have further opportunity of gathering a winning stake prior to the big opening at Randwick; Dominion-owned horses will be well represented in most of tomorrow’s fields. - 1 ; -..•.Thevleading.-.iteni on the .card is the Rosehill- Guineas, run over nine fur-•lohgs.-the? final classic 'event for the three-year-olds - prior to the Derby.’ In the past' the Gidheas . has • not proved a good guide- for" the , Derby.

Isinglass won the Guineas in. T915 hje 1 finished so brilliantly that' -the Derby looked a certainty for, him, but, though backed down to odds-on. ho was ; fairly beaten by Cetigne. Furious and Caserta were alio- Derby favourites in their year, principally because of success in the Guineas, but neither won. The Guineas winners Woolerina, Beau Soult, Carlita, Woorawa, All Sunshine, Amounis, and Lightning March were unplaced in the Derby, Winalot, like Mollison. was beaten- by a Guineas non-runner—Triyalve.'
