Horseracing Betting Lines

11/07/2011 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A fourth-place finish in the 2011 Breeders' Cup Classic on Saturday did not prevent Havre de Grace from finishing atop the final NTRA Thoroughbred Poll for 2011. The four-year-old filly was the 4-1 second pick in the 12-horse Classic field.

Owned by Rick Porter's Fox Hill Farm, Havre de Grace received 15 first-place votes and 189 points, an increase of seven points, to remain in the top position. The filly has been the top vote getter since her win over male horses in the Woodward during the Labor Day weekend.

"She didn't do anything to tarnish herself. She has another year ahead of her," said the filly's trainer Larry Jones.

Classic runner-up Game One Dude closes in the second position, up from fourth, with a first-place vote and 141 points.

"He ran so good," trainer Bob Baffert said about the four-year-old. "That track was so demanding; I've never seen it like that here before. Those horses had to work so hard."

Ladies' Classic winner Royal Delta, trained by Bill Mott along with Classic champ Drosselmeyer, also got one top vote and 135 points for third in the poll. Drosselmeyer, the 14-1 Classic winner, makes his first appearance in the fifth spot with a first-place vote and 111 points.

"You know, you can't ever fathom thinking about winning two races like this on a weekend. I mean, the biggest, most prestigious races of the weekend," Mott said Saturday after capturing the Breeders' Cup Classic.

Tizway, who was held out of the Breeders' Cup, fell one rung to fourth. The six-year-old received a single top vote and 122 points to separate Mott's two horses in the voting.

In sixth and seventh are two horses who also missed the World Championships at Churchill Downs. Pacific Classic winner Acclamation got two first-place votes and 88 points followed by Arlington Million champ Cape Blanco with 71 points and one top vote.

Coming in eighth is Juvenile Fillies winner My Miss Aurelia. Trained by Steve Asmussen, the two-year-old received 63 points followed by Flat Out (60) and Dirt Mile winner Caleb's Posse (49).

NFL Football Sports Betting

Two playoff teams from 2007 take center stage on the NFL Network Sunday night in a Week 2 NFL betting match-up when the (0-1) New England Patriots betting head south to Florida for a contest with the (1-0) Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

New England HC Bill Belichick couldn’t care less about the way his team plays in the preseason. With a chance to tie last week’s game with the Baltimore Ravens betting, He elected to go for the two-point conversion and outright victory. The conversion failed, and the Pats ended up falling to the Ravens by a 16-15 final count.

New England rolled off twelve unanswered points to give it a chance at securing the victory, but it never threatened to cover the 3.5-point spread. NFL bettors saw this one coming, as they bet the Ravens down from +6 to +3.5 as the week progressed. QB Tom Brady didn’t take part in the Patriots first preseason clash, but could see action this weekend.

His three replacements all put up embarrassing numbers. They went a combined 17 for 33, and threw three interceptions and no touchdowns. The New England defense was encouraging, as they held the Ravens to 2/12 third down conversions and surrendered just ten first downs. That ‘D’ should be bolstered with the addition of former Bucs and Denver Broncos betting safety John Lynch, who could make his Patriots debut on Sunday against his former mates.

HC Jon Gruden had to be impressed with the way his Bucs played on both sides of the ball in their dominating 17-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1’s NFL pre-season betting action. Bucs bettors were quite happy with the effort, as they made a mockery of the fact that they were underdogs in the game.

The logjam at the quarterback position didn’t get any easier to separate for Gruden, as all four of his QBs had positive experiences in the first exhibition of 2008. The four combined to complete 28 of their 40 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown, and that was without starting QB Jeff Garcia in the lineup.

RB Michael Bennett had 19 carries and four receptions, totaling 90 yards and a touchdown. Expect to see more of Bennett, Kenneth Darby, and Earnest Graham, as they all compete for playing time with Warrick Dunn in the backfield this season. Defensively, the Bucs recorded four sacks and held the Fins offense in check all day.

First round draft pick Aqib Talib was impressive in the secondary, recording a tackle and two pass defenses in his debut. Don’t be surprised to see Talib in the starting lineup opposite Ronde Barber for the Bucs in ’08.

The betting trends suggest that NFL bettors should be backing the Bucs in this intra-conference exhibition.

These two teams hooked up last year in Tampa Bay, with the Bucs winning that game 13-10. The Buccaneers have only lost one preseason game at home dating back to the beginning of the ’05 preseason. The Patriots have had a mixed bag of results in their recent exhibitions. They have gone 2-2 ATS and SU each of the last three years.

New England currently sits as modest 1-point favorites in this preseason showdown with the ‘total’ now sitting at 34.5.
