Nijinsky the 3-year-old son of Northern Dancer is the odds-on favorite for the Epsom Derby. Bookmakers cut the price to 5-4 as British jockey Lester Piggott expresses confidence. Politico is a doubtful starter after a hind-foot injury, while owner Charles W. Engelhard aims for his first Derby win and a prize of 149 546 dollars.
