CHANCES IN DERBY ODDS 4 Steady Backing for Various Candidates Forces Prices Down. 3Iost Trononnccd Reductions on Better and Better, Gold Bug and San Vicente Sarazen Now 5 to 1. Steady inflow of money on various Kentucky Derby candidates has forced some material changes, in the quotations of one of the local future books. The most important item is in connection with Sarazen. The general public seemed to have an idea that 6 to 1 against the unbeaten star was fair enough. The result was such backing that his price is 5 to 1. But this did not affect the standing of the other three leading favorites and odds are unchanged so far as Wise Counsellor, St. James and Mad Play aro concerned. The secondary feature has been the onslaught on the 500 to 1 laid at first against Better and Better, Gold Bug, Inver and San Vicente. This was so well sustained that Better and Better is now at 40 to 1, Gold Bug at 50 to 1 and San Vicente at GO to 1, but 100 to 1 Inver is still to be had. Colonel Wagner has been backed from 200 to 1 to 50 to 1 and Diogenes from 30 to 1 to 20 to 1. Others have been backed, but not heavily. To compensate prices against Abu Ben Ahdem, Battle Creek, Desperate Desmond, Frankman, Lord Martin, Quivero and Thorn-dalo have been advanced and several have been promoted to the 1000 to 1 class. Black Golds easy victory in the Lousiana Derby cut his odds from 40 to 1 to 20 to 1 and he is not without favor at that price. Nautical has been backed and is now at 40 to 1 instead of 100 to 1 as previously. Here are the latest odds quoted on the candidates for the Kentucky Derby : Horse. Str. TI. Sh.
