I EDWARD M. DOBKINS I LATEST DERBY BOOK One of the largest books on the Kentucky-Derby is that of Edward M. Dobkin of Chicago, and since the first announcement of his prices, a number of changes have been made. The most pronounced is that of Wise Fox, winner of the Louisiana Derby, which has been cut from 100 to 1 to 30 to 1. Bull Lea lias proved popular with the public, and his odds have been cut from 30 to 1 to 20 to 1. Stagehand remains the favorite at 4 to 1, with Fighting Fox second choice, his odds being reduced from 10 to 1 to 8 to 1. Lawrin has been cut from 15 to 1 to 12 to 1, while Menow remains at 12 to 1, Dauber at 15 to 1, Nedayr at 12 to 1 and Tiger at 15 to 1. Quite a few have receded in prices, for instance, Teddys Comet, from 15 to 1 to 20 to 1, Sun Egret from 20 to 1 to 30 to 1, Bourbon King from 40 to 1 to 50 to 1.
