Horseracing Betting Lines

12/07/2011 - Bensalem, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Three straight years of high quality fields and winners has propelled Parx Racing's Cotillion Stakes to the top of the thoroughbred world.

Not only has the 1 1/16-mile event for three-year-old fillies been made a Grade I stakes it now has a $1 million purse, an increase of $250,000.

"To host the first Grade I race in Pennsylvania is a true honor and proves our commitment to the best program and most exciting racing action in the country," said Joe Wilson, chief operating officer of Parx Racing.

This year's Cotillion was won by Plum Pretty, trained by Bob Baffert, who set the pace in the Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic but faded to fourth behind Royal Delta. Plum Pretty earlier won the Kentucky Oaks and was second in the Hollywood Oaks and Coaching Club American Oaks. Owned by Peachtree Stable, the filly finished fourth in the Alabama to Royal Delta.

Last year's Cotillion featured 2010's top two fillies, Blind Luck and Havre de Grace. It proved to be another thrilling installment in their great rivalry. After beating Havre de Grace in both the Delaware Oaks and Alabama, Blind Luck finally lost to her rival in the Cotillion. Blind Luck and Havre de Grace would go on to finish second and third, respectively, in the Ladies' Classic.

In 2009 Careless Jewel was easily the best three-year-old filly not named Rachel Alexandra. Prior to capturing the Cotillion, Careless Jewel won the Delaware Oaks and Alabama.

Parx Racing's Pennsylvania Derby, for three-year-old colts and geldings, is also worth $1 million.

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds  
As of February 9, MySportsbook.com has released its coveted 2007 Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament betting odds. “March Madness betting ” only a month away, the top ranked Florida Gators are favorite at 7-2 to win it all. The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds

With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.

Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season.  Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money. 

This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy.  A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.

Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:

Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma)
