RIDING ENGAGEMENTS. JOCKEYS FOR SATURDAY. The following riding engagements ha?e fce-en announced for the first day or tne Auckland Racing Club's Spring Meeting. J. Mcßae.—Dark Prince. E.

DOUBLE GUINEAS WINNERS. AVONDALE AND AUCKLAND. The vic'ory of View Halloo in the Avondale Guineas on Monday and the downfall of Bronze Kagle and Croupier will cause additional into.-est in the Great Northern Guineas on Saturday. The record of Avondale Guineas winners in tho Kllerslio classic is somewhat curious. Of the first 16 victors, from 1000 to 1015 inclusive, eight went on to win the Great Northern Guineas, bu from 19ir> onwards only four have succeeded. These are Vug:, bond, 1U5.7. Lysonder. who dead-heated with Comrnandation in la«». Prodice, 1923, nntl Eaglet. 1929. The total of 13 double winners in 31 contests cannot oji considered over-encouraging, but, V lew Halloo showed himself to be much superior in bad going on Monday, and a lot will depend on tho state of tho track next Satuicoy.
