Horseracing Betting Lines
10/18/2007 -
Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The 70th running of the $2 million Canadian
International has attracted a field of 12 turf runners and the $1 million E.P.
Taylor Stakes has a field of 10 fillies and mares set to compete on the grass
Sunday afternoon at Woodbine.
The 3-1 morning-line favorite for the International is Quijano of Germany. The
five-year-old will be ridden by Andrasch Starke from the far outside post.
Trained by Peter Schiergen, Quijano has won 12 of 15 lifetime races, including
a win in his last start on September 2.
Local runner Sky Conqueror is the 4-1 second choice in the program. Sky
Conqueror won the 2006 Sovereign Award as Canada's champion turf horse. Javier
Castellano comes north to ride the five-year-old from post four.
Trained by Darwin Banach for owner Bill Sorokolit, Sky Conqueror has earned
more than $1.8 million in 19 career starts win seven victories. He is a two-
time winner of the Northern Dancer Stakes here and was third in last year's
International.
"We might be in a position where he will be overlooked after finishing third
in the Nijinsky (Stakes, August 26) and then eighth in the Mile," said Banach.
"It's a different role for him to be in. Usually, everyone is thinking about
his late kick and when he'll come charging. But he's not the type you want to
overlook for a minute."
Ask, trained by Sir Michael Stoute, is the 6-1 third pick in the morning-line
and will break from post nine with jockey Ryan Moore. The four-year-old has
won both of his starts this year and can give his trainer another win in this
event. Stoute won here in 1996 with Singspiel.
Here is the complete field for the 1 1/2 mile race in post position order:
Marsh Side, Emma-Jayne Wilson; Oracle West, John Murtagh; Windward Islands,
Todd Kabel; Sky Conqueror, Javier Castellano; Stream of Gold, Eddie Castro;
Irish Wells, Olivier Peslier; Honolulu, Michael Kinane; Cloudy's Knight,
Ramsey Zimmerman; Ask, Ryan Moore; Linda's Lad, John Velazquez; Sunriver,
Garrett Gomez and Quijano, Andrasch Starke.
The field for 1 1/4 mile E.P. Taylor Stakes is topped by three-year-old Sealy
Hill. The filly swept the Canadian Triple Tiara for three-year-old females.
Sealy Hill is owned by Melnyk Racing and trained by Mark Casse. She won the
Woodbine Oaks, Bison City Stakes and the Wonder Where Stakes. Initially she
was disqualified to third in the Bison City. An appeal hearing reversed the
disqualification to give her the Triple Tiara.
Sealy Hill will start from post three in the ten horse field with Patrick
Husbands again in the saddle. In her last start, Sealy hill was second to
Essential Edge in the Canadian Stakes at Woodbine.
Essential Edge will break from post eight with Jono Jones riding. Owned by
Chiefswood Stable, the four-year-old has earned nearly $500,000.
Here is the complete field for the $1 million Taylor Stakes: Elle Runaway,
Eddie Castro; The Niagara Queen, Emma-Jayne Wilson; Sealy Hill, Patrick
Husbands; Mrs. Lindsay, John Murtagh; Four Sins, Michael Kinane; Sans Souci
Island, Mike Smith; Safari Queen, John Velazquez; Essential Edge, Jono Jones;
Hostess, Channing Hill and Barancella, Javier Castellano.
The E.P Taylor Stakes has a scheduled post-time of 2:59 p.m. (et) and the
Canadian International is set for 4:05 p.m.

Super Bowl XLIII, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Super Bowl XLIII is now set, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers will meet each other on February 1st in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium to battle it out for the coveted Lombardi Trophy. The game kicks off at 6:00pm ET on NBC with announcers Al Michaels and John Madden covering the on-field action. Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds
Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds:
Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
Arizona Cardinals +6.5 (-110), Under 46.5 (-110), +220 (Money line)
