Gayego under consideration for Preakness, Harlem Rocker out

Horseracing Betting Lines

05/12/2008 - Baltimore, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Arkansas Derby winner Gayego is now a possible starter for the 133rd Preakness Stakes on Saturday. Withers Stakes champ Harlem Rocker will not start in the $1 million race.

Trainer Paulo Lobo said Monday that Gayego is being considered for the second leg of racing's Triple Crown.

"I'm going to decide (Tuesday). We are going to have a meeting," Lobo said from Southern California. "I'm going to track him in the morning, then we'll make a decision."

Gayego finished 17th out of 20 in the Kentucky Derby which was won by Big Brown. Lobo feels his three-year-old never exerted himself in the race and is fresh.

"That's the reason we are thinking about (the Preakness)," Lobo stated. "He's very happy right now and he came back very sound."

Without Gayego, Big Brown would be the first Kentucky Derby champ since Citation in 1948 not to face any rivals from that race in the Preakness.

Canadian-bred three-year-old Harlem Rocker will not run on Saturday at Pimlico. Trainer Todd Pletcher announced Monday that the colt will start in the Queen's Plate on Sunday, June 22 at Woodbine in suburban Toronto

"I spoke to Mr. Stronach this morning and we've decided to take a conservative approach," Pletcher said. "We're going to point toward the Queen's Plate and we'll look for some bigger races down the road."

Harlem Rocker is owned by Frank Stronach and is undefeated in three lifetime races. He won the Withers Stakes in his last start at Aqueduct.

The current line-up for the Preakness includes Big Brown, Kent Desormeaux; Yankee Bravo, Alex Solis; Macho Again, Julien Leparoux; Tres Borrachos, Tyler Baze; Stevil, John Velazquez; Kentucky Bear, Jamie Theriot; Giant Moon, Ramon Dominguez; Riley Tucker, Edgar Prado; Behindatthebar, David Flores; Icabad Crane, Jeremy Rose; Racecar Rhapsody, Robby Albarado and Hey Byrn, C.C. Lopez.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.

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.
