In the past, approximate-odds

laycd because OF large last minute
bets made in the clubhouse or on
the mezzanine which were not re-
corded in the calculating room
until runner dashed in with the
sheet. There will still be checkup
men. but their work will now be
TO check the machines and install
key" code devices before each
race TO prevent counterfeiting of
mutuel tickets.

Lewis. Detroit racing fans, and
particularly large bettOrs. like to
wait until the last possible sec
ond before placing bets.
'Horsemen betting on their
stables especially like to wait
until the last minute so that a
lot of people won't follow their
leads. But when the steward
presses the button, that's going
TO be aIl-not another ticket can
be sold"
The track anticipates that lot
of fans are going to fail 10 get
some bets down in the first few
days of the meeting. In the past
clerks occasionally have
sold tickets even when the horses
were leaving the gate.
