Horseracing Betting Lines

03/27/2010 - Florence, KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dean's Kitten, ridden by Cornelio Velasquez, took the lead on the turn for home and went to capture Saturday's $500,000 Lane's End Stakes at Turfway Park.

Setting the pace in the 1 1/8-mile race was California Derby winner Ranger Heartley followed closely by Vow to Wager, Dean's Kitten, Northern Giant and Doubles Partner. Sitting off the pace was 8-5 favorite Connemara who hopped at the start coming out of the gate.

Around the final turn Dean's Kitten began his move on the outside of Ranger Heartley and took the lead leaving the turn. Entering the stretch Dean's Kitten had a short over Northern Giant who also advanced on the turn for home.

Down the stretch Dean's Kitten opened up his lead over Northern Giant and went on to post a 2 1/2-length victory. Northern Giant finished second in the nine horse field followed by a late running Connemara, Chief Counsel and Vow to Wager.

Completing the order of finish was Letsgetitonmon, Outlaw Man, Doubles Partner and Ranger Heartley. Kettle River was an early scratch.

The time for the Lane's End Stakes was 1:50.59 on Turfway's synthetic surface.

Dean's Kitten is trained by Mike Maker for owners Ken and Sarah Ramsey. The chestnut colt added $300,000 with the victory to his bankroll which now totals $397,495.

A winner of three of 10 career starts, Dean's Kitten was coming off a fourth- place finish in February in the Hallandale Beach Stakes at Gulfstream Park. He was sixth in last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Santa Anita.

Dean's Kitten returned $15.00, $6.20 and $3.40. Northern Giant paid $5.40 and $3.40, and Connemara paid $2.10 to show.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
