Horseracing Betting Lines

05/24/2010 - Louisville, KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Defending Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra put in a solid workout Monday morning at Churchill Downs. The four-year-old filly had Shaun Bridgmohan in the saddle for the five-furlong training session.

Trained by Steve Asmussen, Rachel went the five-furlongs in 1:00 2/5 on a fast track. She galloped out six-furlongs in 1:12 4/5 and seven-furlongs in 1:26.

"She looked great and galloped out super," Asmussen said. "She's doing well. It was just very nice. It was nice and smooth, covered ground well and was out very strong."

Owned by Stonestreet Stables and Harold McCormick, the champion racehorse is still seeking her first win of the year. She suffered her first loss of 2010, after going undefeated in eight starts last year, at the Fair Grounds on March 13 to Zardana by three-quarters of a length in the New Orleans Ladies Classic. Rachel was again second in the La Troienne at Churchill Downs on April 30 to Unrivaled Belle.

A possible start for Rachel could be the $600,000 Stephen Foster Handicap at Churchill Downs on Saturday, June 12. She would be facing male thoroughbreds in the 1 1/8-mile race, including Woodford Reserve Turf Classic winner General Quarters.

In 2009 the filly defeated three-year-old colts in the Preakness and Haskell Invitational, and older males in the Woodward.

Rachel Alexandra has career earnings of just over $3 million with 11 wins in 16 lifetime races.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
