June 12 targeted for Rachel Alexandra start
Horseracing Betting Lines
06/01/2010 -
Louisville, KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Defending Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra
came out of her Memorial Day workout in fine condition and will likely make
her next start on June 12.
"We were impressed with Rachel's Memorial Day work breezing six furlongs
1:11.20," noted majority owner Jess Jackson, "and galloping out a mile in
1:38. Her next work is Monday, June 7.
"Assuming she continues to progress, we are considering one of the following
June 12 races for Rachel's next preparation: The Stephen Foster, The Fleur de
Lis, The Ogden Phipps or The Obeah."
The Stephen Foster is a handicap race at Churchill Downs where the champion
filly would take on male thoroughbreds. Also at Churchill will be the Fleur de
Lis for fillies and mares.
The Ogden Phipps is a handicap at Belmont Park for fillies and mares. Zardana,
who beat Rachel in the New Orleans Ladies, is scheduled to enter the Phipps.
The Obeah is a prep race for the Delaware Handicap at Delaware Park for
fillies and mares.
"Our ultimate goal has not changed in scheduling Rachel Alexandra's campaign
this year," Jackson added. "We are getting her back to her fitness level of
last year with the long term hope to race her in the Breeders' Cup this fall."
Owned by Stonestreet Stables and Harold McCormick, the champion racehorse is
still seeking her first win of the year. She suffered her first loss of 2010,
after going undefeated in eight starts last year, at the Fair Grounds on
March 13 to Zardana by three-quarters of a length in the New Orleans Ladies
Classic. Rachel was again second in the La Troienne at Churchill Downs on
April 30 to Unrivaled Belle.
In 2009 the filly defeated three-year-old colts in the Preakness and Haskell
Invitational, and older males in the Woodward.
Rachel Alexandra has career earnings of just over $3 million with 11 wins in
16 lifetime races.
Meanwhile, undefeated mare Zenyatta is being prepared for her next race on
June 13 in the Vanity Handicap at Hollywood Park. The six-year-old has won the
last two editions of the Vanity and is perfect in 16 career starts.
Zenyatta was scheduled to work Tuesday morning in her next-to-last drill for
the $250,000 Vanity. This year she won the Santa Margarita Handicap at Santa
Anita Park and the Apple Blossom at Oaklawn Park.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year
Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.
Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.
With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.
Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.
Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds
Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.
Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.
"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."
Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.
Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.
But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.
Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
