Horseracing Betting Lines

03/28/2010 - Sunland Park, NM (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Endorsement, ridden by Robby Albarado, shook loose down the stretch to win Sunday's $800,000 Sunland Derby at Sunland Park. This year for the first time earnings from the race will count toward entry into the Kentucky Derby.

Sent off at odds of better than 11-1, Endorsement was only making his fourth career start and his first since breaking his maiden last month at Oaklawn Park. The chestnut colt is owned by WinStar Farm and trained by Shannon Ritter.

Endorsement was running second during the race behind pacesetter and 7-10 favorite Conveyance. The favorite, trained by Bob Baffert, had taken the lead right out of the gate and set the pace around the clubhouse turn and into the backstretch.

Running third in the nine-horse field was Tempted to Tapit with Nacho Friend racing fourth. The top four runners kept their positions into the far turn.

Midway through the final turn Endorsement drew even with Conveyance. Endorsement then took the lead coming out of the turn and entering the stretch. The lightly raced colt drew away from his rivals down the stretch and went on to post a three-length win over Conveyance.

Tempted to Tapit, the 9-2 third choice, finished third with 55-1 longhsot Fog Alert getting fourth. Completing the order of finish was 3-1 second pick Nacho Friend, Storming Saint, McKenna's Justice, Classical Slew and Guiltbyassociation

The time for the Sunland Derby was 1:48.46 on a fast track.

The victory was worth $480,000 in graded stakes money and brings Endorsement's lifetime earnings to $510,383. The winner's share should be enough to get the colt into the Run for the Roses.

Endorsement returned $25.40, $8.60 and $4.40. Conveyance paid $2.80 and $2.10, and Tempted To Tapit paid $3.00 to show.

The 2009 running of the former WinStar Derby was won by Kelly Leak. However, fourth-place finisher Mine That Bird went on to win the Kentucky Derby as a 50-1 longshot.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
