Horseracing Betting Lines
08/30/2010 -
New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Richard's Kid's second straight win of the
Pacific Classic catapulted him into 10th place in this week's NTRA National
Thoroughbred Poll. The five-year-old had not received one vote the previous
week.
Trained by Bob Baffert, Richard's Kid joined Tinner's Way and Skimming as the
only two-time winners of Del Mar's signature race. The five-year-old received
21 points to put him into the top 10, replacing Life At Ten who was third in
Sunday's Personal Ensign Stakes.
Two-time champion mare Zenyatta remains solidly in first-place with 14 top
votes and 181 points.
Quality Road (133 points) and Lookin At Lucky (130) hold steady in third and
fourth, respectively.
Blind Luck (101) and Paddy O'Prado (43) each advanced one spot in the poll,
taking advantage of Sunday's loss by 2009 Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra.
Rachel Alexandra suffered a one-length defeat to Persistently in the
Personal Ensign at Saratoga. Rachel's point total fell from 113 to 36 to drop
her into seventh.
Two-time Eclipse Award winner Gio Ponti (24) and five-year-old mare Proviso
(22) retained their respective places in eighth and ninth.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines
Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow. Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season. Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints. These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order. As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS. The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens. The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
