The Herz book took a goodly slice of this bet. which was made at 20, 8 and 4. Immediately the price on Nassak was cut to 12 to 1. The four heaviest backed horses in the Derby are Nassak, Reigh Count, Victorian and Typhoon. The latter recently engaged in a surprisingly good workout at Bowie and several big wagers at 40 and 30 to 1 have been made on him since that workout.
