Horseracing Betting Lines

01/28/2007 - Hallandale Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - McCann's Mojave, the oldest member of the field, pulled off the upset in Saturday's $1 million Sunshine Millions Classic at Gulfstream Park. The seven-year-old covered the 1 1/8 miles in 1:49.89 on a fast track.

The Classic is the featured stakes race in the annual Sunshine Millions series. This is the fifth edition of the series which features Florida and California bred horses.

Lava Man won the Classic last year when it was held at Santa Anita Park. He remained in California on Saturday and impressively won the $500,000 Sunshine Millions Turf.

McCann's Mojave, sent off at odds of better than 33-1, pressed the pace that was set by Del Mar Derby winner Get Funky. Running in third was 2-1 favorite Sweetnorthernsaint with Summer Book racing fourth in the 12 horse field.

With Frank Alvarado in the saddle, McCann's Mojave took the lead entering the final turn as Sweetnorthernsaint moved into second place. Joining the leaders was Silver Wagon.

Sweetnorthernsaint and McCann's Mojave dueled briefly down the stratch, but the older runner drew clear as the challenger faded. McCann's Mojave hit the wire 3/4's of a length to the good over Summer Book. Silver Wagon held on for third.

Rounding out the order of finish was Dry Martini, Sweetnorthernsaint, Papi Chullo, Rehoboth, Armenian Summer, Texcess, Bob's Proud Moment, Blazing Rate and Get Funky.

Owned by Alix Nikke Hunt and Mike Willman, McCann's Mojave scored in his first start of the year and notched his third straight victory. Last year he was sixth in this race at Santa Anita Park.

McCann's Mojave is trained by Steven Specht and has now won 10 of 24 career starts for better than $1.2 million.

McCann's Mojave returned $69.80, $30.60 and $14.80. Summer Book paid $36.20 and $16.60, and Silver Wagon paid $4.80 for show.

Next Saturday at Gulfstream Park will be the $500,000 Donn Handicap which will feature Horse of the Year Invasor.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
