Horseracing Betting Lines
03/06/2010 -
Ozone Park, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Post-time favorite Awesome Act, ridden by
Julien Leparoux, scampered away down the stretch to capture 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.
Sent off as the 5-2 favorite, Awesome Act had been the 7-2 morning-line
favorite as well in the 10-horse field. The chestnut colt was making his first
start since finishing fourth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf last November.
Trained by Jeremy Noseda, the three-year-old was racing just off the pace that
was being set by Wow Wow Wow. Running in second up the backstretch was
Whirlaway Stakes winner Peppi Knows with Three Day Rush racing in third.
The field began to bunch up around the final turn and there were six horses
across the track coming into the stretch. Awesome Act was on the outside
coming off the turn and quickly took the lead at the top of the stretch.
Awesome Act was able to maintain his lead down the stretch even as Yawanna
Twist, the 7-2 second choice, made a late run. Awesome Act posted a 1 1/4-
length win over Yawanna Twist with Nacho Friend finishing third and Turf
Melody getting fourth.
Rounding out the order of finish was Shrimp Dancer, Peppi Knows, I've Got the
Fever, Wow Wow Wow, Three Day Rush and Afleet Again.
The time for the Gotham was 1:43.85 on a fast track.
Awesome Act is co-owned by Mrs. Susan Roy and Vinery Stables. The Gotham win
was worth $150,000 as the colt recorded his first stakes victory. He has won
two of seven career starts for $221,691.
Saturday's race was the first on dirt for Awesome Act. He had started five
times on turf and once on an artificial surface. He lost the Juvenile Turf to
Pounced by 1 1/4-lengths following a late rally.
Awesome Act returned $7.70, $5.10 and $3.80. Yawanna Twist paid $5.90 and
$4.70, and Nacho Friend paid $6.80 to show.

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.
