Rachel Alexandra safely arrives at Saratoga

06/30/2010 -
Saratoga Springs, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Wednesday morning saw the safe
arrival of defending Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra at Saratoga Race
Course from Churchill Downs. The four-year-old filly was accompanied by
trainer Steve Asmussen's assistant Scott Blasi on the plane flight.
"We left Churchill Downs at 7:15 and we got here at 11:15; four hours from
track to track is pretty impressive," said Blasi. "She's at Saratoga and
everything is good. The air is good; the water tastes good. It's all positive.
She looks fabulous right now. I am looking forward to getting her back to the
track tomorrow."
As a three-year-old, the filly took up residence at Saratoga last summer when
she traveled to Monmouth Park to win the Haskell Invitational. Back at the
upstate New York track she beat older male horses in the Woodward Handicap.
Specific plans for Rachel's next start have not been finalized. At Saratoga
she could race in either the 1 1/8-mile Ruffian Handicap on Sunday, August 1
or the 1 1/4-mile Personal Ensign on Sunday, August 29. Both races are for
fillies and mares.
An earlier possible start against other females would be the $750,000 Delaware
Handicap on Saturday, July 17 at 1 1/4-miles.
Owned by Stonestreet Stable and Hal McCormick, Rachel had her last workout at
Churchill Downs on Monday of this week. Blasi said that the champion filly
will most likely have her first breeze at Saratoga on Monday, July 5.
Rachel, who has Calvin Borel as her jockey, has won 12 of 17 career starts for
$3,216,730. This year she has won one of three races for $258,376.
Rachel won the Fleur de Lis by 10 1/2-lengths on June 12. She came up short in
her initial two starts of 2010. She was second to Zardana at the Fair Grounds
in the New Orleans Ladies Classic and runner-up to Unrivaled Belle at
Churchill Downs in the La Troienne.

Michael Vick is back, Brett Favre isn't and the NFC East remains the best division in the NFC, maybe in all of football.
As players start to gather for the start of another season, some things change and some stay the same in the world of the NFL.
Bet 2010 Super Bowl Odds
The NFC East has been the dominant division in the National Conference for a while, despite limited playoff success, save for the New York Giants surprise Super Bowl win two seasons ago.
Hell, there's a generation of kids in Texas who have never seen the Cowboys win a playoff game (last win was in 1996).
But collectively, the Giants, Eagles, Cowboys and Redskins (well, maybe not so much the Redskins) are as good as a division gets in an NFC conference that has struggled to stay competitive with the AFC side.
Sports bettors have both acknowledged the NFC East's dominance, as one glance at the NFL future odds menu will show.
Looking over the NFL betting odds at online sports book MySportsbook.com we see the top three teams listed to win the NFC Championship are all from the NFC East:
Dallas Cowboys - 7 - 1
Philadelphia Eagles - 13 - 2
New York Giants - 9 - 2
Slotting in behind these three are two teams from the NFC North: the Minnesota Vikings (15-2) and the Chicago Bears (10-1).
Again, despite the lack of recent playoff success, the Dallas Cowboys are popular with the sports betting community, as they hold 14% of all the money wagered on who will win the NFC Championship.
So far, the New York Giants are the bettors' favorite to represent their conference in the Super Bowl, as they have 24% of the overall NFC Championship betting volume.
And what about the Philadelphia Eagles? For the most part, the Eagles had a very productive offseason, the kind that could bring them back to the top.
They had a good draft adding the likes of WR Jeremy Maclin and RB LeSean McCoy.
Unfortunately, the team received a blow when long-time defensive coordinator Jim Johnson passed away on Tuesday.
But this team will make a real run at the division title this year. Going into the regular season, Philly is listed at +240 to win the division.
Last season the Eagles were 9-6-1 SU and 10-6 ATS.
Teams from the NFC East will play teams from the AFC West in the regular season and the Eagles haven't really been a good bet in the last 20 games against the likes of San Diego, Oakland, K.C. and Denver, only going 8-12 ATS.
Two seasons removed from that Super Bowl title, the New York Giants see themselves listed as the odds-on favorite in NFC East championship futures at +162.
Plaxico Burress is gone and with him all the bad publicity surrounding the gun in the sweatpants incident, but can they replace him in the offense?
Last season the Giants were a very reliable bet going 12-4 ATS.
In the Giants' last 20 games against fellow teams from the NFC East; they are 13-7 ATS.
Dallas is listed at +240 to win the division.
Dallas went 9-7 SU and 7-9 ATS last season and with the amount of talent the Cowboys have, a similar performance won't do.
The Cowboys have been atrocious against divisional rivals, going 6-14 ATS in their last 20.
The Washington Redskins are longshots to win the division at +550.
