Horseracing Betting Lines
03/06/2010 -
Arcadia, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Misremembered, ridden by Martin Garcia, held
off Neko Bay down the stretch to win Saturday's 73rd running of the $750,000
Santa Anita Handicap (Big 'Cap) at Santa Anita Park.
The four-year-old covered the 1 1/4-miles in 2:00.20.
Trained by Bob Baffert, Misremembered was trying to snap a three-race losing
streak, where he was second in each attempt. He was coming off a loss to
Jeranimo as the 7-10 favorite in the Strub Stakes at Santa Anita.
The pace in the Big 'Cap was set by Mast Track with jockey David Flores.
Misremembered was racing second with Marsh Side third and Jeranimo running
fourth in the 14-horse field.
Entering the far turn, Misremembered swung to the outside to take the lead as
Dakota Phone made a move to the front. Misremembered had the lead at the top
of the stretch as Neko Bay, on the inside, went past Dakota Phone.
Misremembered was able to repel Neko Bay down the stretch and posted a neck
victory over the seven-year-old. Dakota Phone finished third, with Jeranimo
fourth.
Completing the order of finish was Rendezvous, St Trinians, Marsh Side,
Delightful Kiss, Pick Six, Pool Play, Loup Breton, Tiger's Rock, Eagle Poise
and Mast Track. St Trinians was the only female in the race.
Misremembered is co-owned by Baffert and Natalie and George Jacobs. The Big
'Cap win was worth $450,000 and was the fifth career victory for the horse in
11 career starts. Misremembered has lifetime earnings of $1,188,589.
Last year he won the Swaps and Indiana Derby and finished 2009 as the runner-
up in the Clark Handicap and Malibu Stakes.
Misremembered returned $10.80, $6.00 and $4.40. Neko Bay paid $7.80 and $6.00,
and Dakota Phone paid $10.40 to show.
Additionally, in the rescheduled Sham Stakes for three-year-olds, it was
Alphie's Bet taking the lead at the top of the stretch on his way to a 2 1/4-
length victory. The Sham is a prep for the $750,000 Santa Anita Derby on April
3.
Alphie's Bet, ridden by Alex Solis, captured the $150,000 Sham and put himself
on the road to the Kentucky Derby. Sent off at 8-1 in the 10 horse field,
Alphie's Bet won the 1 1/8-mile stakes in a time of 1:48.72.
Finishing second was 5-2 favorite Setsuko followed by The Program, Outlaw Man,
Boulder Creek, Marcello, Nextdoorneighbor, Kettle River, El Mirage King and
Wolf Tail.
Alphie's Bet is trained by Alexis Barba for owners Peter Johnson and Teresa
McWilliams. The win was worth $90,000 and is the colt's first stakes victory.
In five career starts, Alphie's Bet has two wins and $141,320.
"He was a little bit closer than I thought he'd be," Barba said. "I was
pleased to see it, actually. I was pleased to see that he got into the race a
little earlier than his last race, in which he was kind of pinched back a
little bit. So it was nice to see him closer, instead of that horrifying last
place at the quarter pole. I'm not sure what we're going to do with this horse
yet (for his next race). We're going to discuss it and then we're going to let
you know after we figure it out."
Alphie's Bet paid $19.00, $8.40 and $4.80. Setsuko returned $4.40 and $3.20,
and The Program paid $4.00 to show.

Super Bowl XLIV Odds
Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.
Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.
Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds
With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.
That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.
Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.
After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.
The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).
To see a complete list of all the team's odds to win Super Bowl XLIV, check below.

After all the trouble that’s ensued since Braylon Edwards allegedly punched one of LeBron James’ homeboys in the face at a club, the Cleveland Browns have sent away their last remaining player of worth to the New York Jets. This is a great move for Dirty Sanchez and all, but it’s even better for the Knicks. Now Donnie Walsh can say, “You get to haunt Braylon Edwards with your posse if you sign here!” next summer.
Putting that aside for a moment, the move is a clear indication that the new-look Jets are gunning for the Super Bowl this year. I don’t think that New York thought that Dirty Sanchez was going to be such a rock star. With a 75.2 passer rating that was killed against the Jets, Sanchez is doing an admirable job of managing games and putting the Jets in a position to win. The defense has been the major story in New York thus far, but the acquisition of Braylon Edwards makes this offense loaded with talent that can dent any defense…as long as Dirty Sanchez continues his meteoric rise.
Thus far, Edwards has been a non-factor in the NFL piling up just 139 receiving yards on 10 catches. He has yet to find the endzone, and with the Browns mired in the most unsexy quarterback controversy of all time (Anderson vs. Quinn...yawn), there going nowhere fast. Edwards is two seasons removed from a career year which saw him catch 80 passes for 1,289 yards and 16 touchdowns when the Browns were the spread killing monsters of 2007. In 2008, injuries slowed the receiver down to just 873 yards and three touchdowns though he played in all 16 games.
So that being said, we really don’t know if Braylon Edwards is just a flash in the pan, or a legit threat. At 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds, he is a prototypical receiver. But he’s also shown a strange, and unwarranted, talent for dropping passes. Lining up opposite Jericho Cotchery, a speed demon with 23 catches, 356 yards and a single touchdown, may give Braylon the open looks he needs. A change of scenery may also rejuvenate the star receiver.
In return, the Browns will receive Chansi Stuckey, online football betting a special teams player you’ve never heard of and a pair of draft picks. That’s a tall order for a guy whose only real value right now is in his name, and it shows no promise to the Browns that they can rebuild around those acquisitions. Braylon was the only reason to hope for the Browns to go 3-14 SU this year. Without him, they don’t have a single guy on offense that can scare any team.
For the Jets, it’s a response to the pounding that they took at the hand of the Saints. Thomas Jones and Leon Washington have averaged around 4.0 yards per carry each on the ground, but striking a fair balance between the passing and rushing attacks in New York has been a struggle. You have to believe that the trio of Dustin Keller, Jericho Cotchery and Braylon Edwards will give Sanchez the weapons he needs to unleash through the air. Theoretically, that would open up holes for the rushing game. But the proposed public option health care plan works in theory too. We need to see the proof in the pudding before we start loading up mega bucks on the New York Jets to take the AFC.
The one wrinkle in this whole thing is that Braylon could very well be suspended by the league for disciplinary action due to his “brawl” with LeBron’s friend. If that’s the case, the Jets may have to bench him for a few games leaving them with a somewhat depleted receiving corps for a few games. Also, this is a guy who gets in fights with people at clubs. New York may not be the best place for him. Just sayin’.
The Jets have a long week before they meet the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football Betting in a virtual pick ‘em game. Braylon’s excess baggage may be a distraction, and his curiously low production may be what we should be expecting of him overall, but for the Jets, taking a chance to strike gold is well worth it. At the end of the year, they can simply just blame it on their rookie quarterback.
