Drosselmeyer surprises to win Breeders' Cup Classic
Horseracing Betting Lines
11/05/2011 -
Louisville. KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former Belmont Stakes winner Drosselmeyer
came flying down the stretch to capture the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic
to conclude the 28th World Championships at Churchill Downs. Winning jockey
Mike Smith notched his second Classic win in the last three editions.
The 12-horse field featured Uncle Mo, Stay Thirsty, Havre de Grace, Flat Out
and this year's Belmont Stakes champ Ruler On Ice.
Game On Dude set the pace in the 1 1/8-mile Classic with Uncle Mo on his
shoulder and European horse So You Think running in third. Havre de Grace was
racing close to the pace and Flat Out, the 7-2 favorite, running near the
back.
Around the final turn and into the stretch Uncle Mo, Game On Dude and So You
Think were across the track. Flat Out began to move on the outside and Havre
de Grace was also driving.
Smith got his mount clear for the drive to the wire. The four-year-old
Drosselmeyer, 14-1 on the tote board, powered down the middle of the stretch
and posted a one-length victory over Game On Dude with Ruler On Ice third.
Havre de Grace, the lone female in the Classic and the 4-1 second choice,
finished fourth and Flat Out was fifth.
The time for the race was 2:04.27.
Trained by Bill Mott, Drosselmeyer is owned by WinStar Farm. The chestnut colt
picked up his fifth career win in 16 starts and it was worth $2.7 million.
Second to Flat Out in the Jockey Club Gold Cup, Drosselmeyer has career
winnings of more than $3.7 million.
Smith won the 2009 Classic with Zenyatta and the pair finished second last
year. Smith ties Jerry Bailey with 15 Breeders' Cup career wins after a win
earlier in the day for his 14th.
Drosselmeyer returned $31.60, $13.20 and $8.80. Game On Dude, also 14-1, paid
$13.60 and $9.20, and 17-1 longshot Ruler On Ice paid $9.80 to show.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
