Horseracing Betting Lines

11/07/2011 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A fourth-place finish in the 2011 Breeders' Cup Classic on Saturday did not prevent Havre de Grace from finishing atop the final NTRA Thoroughbred Poll for 2011. The four-year-old filly was the 4-1 second pick in the 12-horse Classic field.

Owned by Rick Porter's Fox Hill Farm, Havre de Grace received 15 first-place votes and 189 points, an increase of seven points, to remain in the top position. The filly has been the top vote getter since her win over male horses in the Woodward during the Labor Day weekend.

"She didn't do anything to tarnish herself. She has another year ahead of her," said the filly's trainer Larry Jones.

Classic runner-up Game One Dude closes in the second position, up from fourth, with a first-place vote and 141 points.

"He ran so good," trainer Bob Baffert said about the four-year-old. "That track was so demanding; I've never seen it like that here before. Those horses had to work so hard."

Ladies' Classic winner Royal Delta, trained by Bill Mott along with Classic champ Drosselmeyer, also got one top vote and 135 points for third in the poll. Drosselmeyer, the 14-1 Classic winner, makes his first appearance in the fifth spot with a first-place vote and 111 points.

"You know, you can't ever fathom thinking about winning two races like this on a weekend. I mean, the biggest, most prestigious races of the weekend," Mott said Saturday after capturing the Breeders' Cup Classic.

Tizway, who was held out of the Breeders' Cup, fell one rung to fourth. The six-year-old received a single top vote and 122 points to separate Mott's two horses in the voting.

In sixth and seventh are two horses who also missed the World Championships at Churchill Downs. Pacific Classic winner Acclamation got two first-place votes and 88 points followed by Arlington Million champ Cape Blanco with 71 points and one top vote.

Coming in eighth is Juvenile Fillies winner My Miss Aurelia. Trained by Steve Asmussen, the two-year-old received 63 points followed by Flat Out (60) and Dirt Mile winner Caleb's Posse (49).

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
