THE PROVINCIALS with Geoff Wilson

SUCCESSFUL Newcastle jockey Dale Spriggs is in line for a big riding double.

Spriggs is leading the NSW Provincial Jockeys' Premiership and goes into tomorrow's Newcastle meeting as joint leader of the Broadmeadow jockeys title.

Spriggs leads the provincial race with 32 winners, one in front of Grant Buckley.

At Newcastle, Spriggs and Linda Meech are locked on 12 winners coming into the final meeting of the season at Broadmeadow.

Meanwhile, promising country apprentice Allan Chau has moved to Hawkesbury and linked with trainer Mark Quinn. Chau still claims three kilograms on the provincial circuit and this season has had 27 winners from just over 300 rides.
