Segenfield, the trainer, J. Munro, and tne jockey, 11. Hughes, on the ground of Grand Hotel's inconsistent form at the recent Newcastle races. The jockey H. Zensky to-day had a leg amputated as a sequel to an accident on a Sydney training track nine months ago. TURF JOTTINGS TRACK AND STABLE GOSSIP Santoft,. who has been nominated for the Great Northern Steeples, will probably- have prior engagements at liniaru and To It a pa. He. Will bo accompanied by Rebel Mate.

Uncle Jim, who shaped well last winter in steeplechasing events, is being trained by J. B. Pearson at Kiccarton. He was formerly in the stable of L. H.- Pratt. Orari.

Regicide, «'ho has been nominated to race at Otaki. was twice placed _at the Feilding Easter meeting, finishing well on each occasion. He is expected to give a good account of himself in immediate engagements.

Land Raid is in two races at Amborlev to-day. After three successive victories over live and a-half furlongs at Omoto he was beaten in the Irving Memorial Handicap at Reefton by Babble, who continued in winning vein at Timaru. But for persistent lameness. Land Raid, now aged, would have had a very imposing race .record.

The Australian Jockey Club lias made a move for the encouragement to apprentices by, adopting : the following —"All' clubs ill the metropolitan find provincial areas shall include a race for apprentices in 50 per cent of the programmes throughout the year, except at Randwick racecourse, where clubs will include such races in 25 per cent of their programmes."

Although the fields ho has beaten in recent weeks have not been outstanding, Triple Cone has now won four, of his last six starts and been onco placed. When trained at Tnvorcarnill be was capable of brilliant track work, but as a three-year-old last season bo did not reproduce it in,,his races. Now that he has been induced to race solidlv he should win again at short notice and is just the type to win good handicaps. His dam, Silver Peak, was a great race mare up to a mile.

When F. Bosch, tho apprentice rider of Gold Streak in the Glenroy Handicap at Mooneo Valley, was recently attempting to ride out his mount in the straight, his right foot became entangled in the reins of Queen Esther, who was on the outside of him./ Bosch could not pull himself clear until near tho post. His mount in the circumstances was nnluekv to suffer* narrow defeat by Peggy O'Neil, who obtained n good* run on the outside. Tho stewards'?found that the occurrence was accidental.
