Some of the Bio Waaers.

Chicago, June 20.--If Savable wins
the Derby, John A. Drake will be richer
by over S300,GO0. How much over is
81 question, but he stands TO win. $110-
coo on a victory by Savable thru bets
placed in the winter book of kid
Weller. This money was placed at an
average price of between and to !.
If High Chancellor his other entry,
wins, he will win $4,000 at least, for
he holds Weller,s tickets calling for
this amount.
That MIR. Drake also bet heavily in
other books is assured. James O'Leary
said last ever,ing that when the ODDS
on Savabie We're 10 10 l he was offered
$4,000 or any part of 1t on the colts
chances. o.Leary took $4,000 of this,
and therefore stands 10 lose 100000 on
this horse alone at these odds. The
rest OF the $4,000, according to OLeary
was placed III smaller lots at shorter
prices.
That it was Mr.. brakes money no
one doubts, altho Mr. OLeary was I'M
willing to commit himself upon the
question last evening.
Mr.. Drake easily stands to win most
on the Derby said Weller last evening
'ai the Annex. The two biggest wagers
which make up this total We're Il sum
of $4,000 placed when the odds Were
AT 10 to and another lump of $11, 900
at 3 to /. Last Monday Mr.. Drake
placed $4,000 more with me at 3 to l..
The rest was made at various times in
smaller bets.
The bets ON High Chancellor We're
two-one for $1,000 at 80 to l and an
other for $4,000 at % to /.
What horse do pick? AS a handi
capper | can not do otherwise than
choose Savabie Last Saturday nearly
everybody picked Savable to win, didn't
they? The Derby then was practically
conceded to him. On Wednesday he
ran and won. The others We're close,
1t is true, but they didn't beat him, and
you've got 10 allow him credit for his
victory One race of that kind, in my
opinion, should not throw him out
$50 far as going q mile and half
is concerned. nobody is in a position TO
know whether he can do il or not. aud
the same cerainly can be said OF the
great majority of the other candidates.
Claude and Fore and Aft have both
gone the rouge and l therefore would
pick them for place and show.
There has been steady play the
last two days on Judge Hines, but it all
came in in small lots-no big wagers.
Other big bets in the Weller future
book have been made as follows: Five
hundred dollars to $4,000 by Ed Cor
rlgan on his colt Rate (RaveD: $500 to
$4,000 by Ed Corrigan on Maxey Blu
