Horseracing Betting Lines

03/03/2010 - Ozone Park, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A field of 10 Kentucky Derby hopefuls has been entered for Saturday's $250,000 Gotham Stakes at Aqueduct. The 1 1/16- mile Gotham is the final local prep before the $750,000 Wood Memorial on April 3.

Topping the field of three-year-olds is Whirlaway Stakes winner Peppi Knows. Trained by Timothy Kreiser, the gelding will start from post six with Richard Migliore back to ride.

Peppi Knows, owned by Philip Messina, is the winner of four of six lifetime starts for $178,400. As a two-year-old last year he won his first two starts at Penn National and closed 2009 in the Remsen with a second behind Buddy's Saint in November.

Whirlaway runner-up Afleet Again has drawn post nine with Kendrick Carmouche picking up the mount. The son of Afleet Alex is owned by Cash is King Stable and trained by Robert Reid.

"He's proven he likes the inner track," said Reid. "We'd like a longer race, the further, the better for him. He's a big, bulky horse and once he gets rolling you don't want to have him check, or go wide, or anything like that."

Afleet Again did not break his maiden until the fourth start and then finished fifth in the Count Fleet at Aqueduct on January 2. He won an allowance race at Philadelphia Park before the Whirlaway.

The gray gelding has eight starts with two wins and $86,950.

Three Day Rush, third in the Whirlaway, is trainer Todd Pletcher's only starter in the Gotham. Owned by Starlight Partners, the colt will leave from the inside post with Fernando Jara in the saddle.

Three Day Rush won the $200,000 Monmouth Park NATC Futurity last September and was fifth in the Iroquois at Churchill Downs in November. Overall the colt has earned $171,468 in seven career starts.

Here is the complete field for the Gotham in post position order: Three Day Rush, Fernando Jara; Yawanna Twist, Edgar Prado; Nacho Friend, Joe Bravo; Awesome Act, Julien Leparoux; I've Got the Fever, Channing Hill; Peppi Knows, Richard Migliore; Shrimp Dancer, C.C. Lopez; Turf Melody, Ramon Dominguez; Afleet Again, Kendrick Carmouche and Wow Wow Wow, Corey Nakatani.

The Gotham has a scheduled post-time of 5:12 p.m. (et).

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.

(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977.  Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.

Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer.  In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season. 

MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season.  Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite.  After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.

Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions.  They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals.  The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
