Haskell to go national on ABC

Horseracing Betting Lines

05/11/2010 - Oceanport, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - One year after the filly Rachel Alexandra made history by winning the $1 million Haskell Invitational, Monmouth Park announced that the race will be televised on ABC.

"This is a terrific opportunity to grow the Haskell on a national stage," said Bill Knauf, assistant vice president and general manager of Monmouth Park. "Airing the Haskell on ABC will ensure a greater audience to showcase North America's richest invitational race, and historic Monmouth Park as well."

The Haskell is the track's premier race and will be held Sunday, August 1. The ABC telecast will be from 5 to 6 p.m (et).

"The Haskell has clearly stamped itself as the next logical step following the Triple Crown," Knauf said. "Adding the national broadcast is just one more step forward as Monmouth prepares to offer the highest purses in the nation during our Elite Summer Meet."

Run at a distance of 1 1/8-miles, the Haskell has attracted some of the best three-year-old thoroughbreds to ever run. Rachel Alexnadra was voted 2009 Horse of the Year in part because of her victory in the race.

In 2008 Kentucky Derby and Preakness champ Big Brown made his first start following a loss in the Belmont Stakes in the event. War Emblem, the 2002 Derby and Preakness winner, also won the Haskell after coming short in the Belmont Stakes.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."

Stanley Cup betting

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.

The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.

MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.

Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
