Rachel Alexandra in good shape after Personal Ensign loss
Horseracing Betting Lines
08/30/2010 -
Saratoga Springs, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Defending Horse of the Year Rachel
Alexandra came out of Sunday's upset loss in the Personal Ensign Stakes in
good condition and will return to training on Wednesday.
Trainer Steve Asmussen said that he and majority owner Jess Jackson will talk
about the filly's future following her gallop on Wednesday morning.
"How she comes back to the track is our focus now," said Asmussen. "You don't
want to lose, you're not planning on losing, but you can remember what she's
won and what she's done for us. My feelings for her today are the same as my
feelings for her the day after the Woodward or Preakness.
"I think there's a great amount of pride in her and belief in herself. She has
a tremendous amount of strength in her, and it's been called upon before and
it will be called upon again."
The Personal Ensign was Rachel's first career start at 1 1/4-miles. She set
the pace with Delaware Handicap champ Life At Ten right behind. The other
three females were more than 10-lengths behind on the backstretch.
Sent off as the 2-5 favorite, Rachel put away Life At Ten on the final turn
and had a clear lead at the top of the stretch. Persistently, 21-1 at post-
time, came charging down the stretch to catch the favorite near the finish and
win by a length.
Trainer Shug McGaughey said Monday that Persistently also came out of the race
in good condition.
"She's doing well, I'm tired, but she seemed to come back fine," said the
Hall of Fame trainer who also conditioned Personal Ensign. "A lot of times it
doesn't hit them until a couple of days later, but she cooled out great. We've
retooled (her schedule) to point for the Beldame ($350,000 1 1/8-miles at
Belmont Park on Saturday, October 2); that's our next stop."
Life At Ten, the 9-5 second pick to Rachel, is also fine and could be entered
in the Beldame versus Persistently.
"She was tired, no doubt about it," said trainer Todd Pletcher. "In that
situation, if you're going to try to win, and no one else has any speed - if
our objective was to be Grade 1-placed or to secure second, we would have
approached it maybe a little differently. We wanted to try to win, and
ultimately got tired doing that.
"I don't think we'll need to run her at 1 1/4-miles again."
Pletcher indicated that Life At Ten will be pointed toward the 1 1/8-mile
Breeders' Cup Ladies Classic at Churchill Downs on November 5.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson
JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.
Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.
MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .
''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''
Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.
He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.
''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''
Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.
Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.
With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super Bowl
NFL Super Bowl Betting
The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.
Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.
The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East. Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.
