stances warrant such move 10
protect the betting public, presid-
ing steward Jack S. Young said
today.
Although this practice Is not
unusual at other tracks, particu-
larly under several strict officials
at Chicago. Detroit racegoers saw
il here for the first time in II
years yesterday when the stew
ards substituted Johnny Adams,
the tracks leading rider, for Cor
nelio Mojena on Darby Dimout IN
the fifth race.
While the horses were parading
to the post for the sixth race, IT
was called 10 the attention OF the
officials that there was virtually
no betting action on the colt
owned by Milton Shagrin, despite
the fact Il was the morning line
favorite and the form handicap

and rode up to the paddock, where
Adams was hoisted into the

The parade was heightened
after the change in riders was an

for the change but evidently feel

greatly improved. many bettorS
