Madden in an effort, to bolster up the establishment. Mor-cutios first start in the interest of his new owner found him in what was considered a "soft spot," but second was the best that lie could do. He had jockey Earl Sande as pilot, but this did not help him any, although he was hard ridden all the w:y.
