Horseracing Betting Lines

11/05/2011 - Louisville. KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former Belmont Stakes winner Drosselmeyer came flying down the stretch to capture the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic to conclude the 28th World Championships at Churchill Downs. Winning jockey Mike Smith notched his second Classic win in the last three editions.

The 12-horse field featured Uncle Mo, Stay Thirsty, Havre de Grace, Flat Out and this year's Belmont Stakes champ Ruler On Ice.

Game On Dude set the pace in the 1 1/8-mile Classic with Uncle Mo on his shoulder and European horse So You Think running in third. Havre de Grace was racing close to the pace and Flat Out, the 7-2 favorite, running near the back.

Around the final turn and into the stretch Uncle Mo, Game On Dude and So You Think were across the track. Flat Out began to move on the outside and Havre de Grace was also driving.

Smith got his mount clear for the drive to the wire. The four-year-old Drosselmeyer, 14-1 on the tote board, powered down the middle of the stretch and posted a one-length victory over Game On Dude with Ruler On Ice third. Havre de Grace, the lone female in the Classic and the 4-1 second choice, finished fourth and Flat Out was fifth.

The time for the race was 2:04.27.

Trained by Bill Mott, Drosselmeyer is owned by WinStar Farm. The chestnut colt picked up his fifth career win in 16 starts and it was worth $2.7 million. Second to Flat Out in the Jockey Club Gold Cup, Drosselmeyer has career winnings of more than $3.7 million.

Smith won the 2009 Classic with Zenyatta and the pair finished second last year. Smith ties Jerry Bailey with 15 Breeders' Cup career wins after a win earlier in the day for his 14th.

Drosselmeyer returned $31.60, $13.20 and $8.80. Game On Dude, also 14-1, paid $13.60 and $9.20, and 17-1 longshot Ruler On Ice paid $9.80 to show.

Mayweather picked to beat De La Hoya
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya and his rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. arrived at the MGM Grand here Wednesday amid the pomp and pandemonium befitting two of the biggest stars in the sport who are about to duke it out for the WBC super welterweight crown this Saturday (Sunday in Manila).

As of Wednesday, MySportsbook.com closed its book with Mayweather a favorite to defeat De La Hoya at -170 (a $100 bet wins $70), while De La Hoya is a +140 underdog (a $100 bet wins $140).

Mayweather arrived at about 11:30 a.m. on a big truck with his face and a big "World's Best Pound-for-Pound" sign scribbled across the vehicle. He was accompanied by his entourage made up of rappers and his training team.

A crowd of close to 3,000 eager fans packed the MGM Grand lobby, with their cameras in tow, all trying to vie for position to get a good angle at Mayweather, who is acknowledged as the world's best fighter pound-for-pound.

Eric Gomez, Golden Boy Promotions vice-president, described the fan turnout as "amazing" and swore he had never seen anything quite like this event.

"The crowd was fantastic. Everybody was just too eager to see the two fighters," said ALA manager Michael Aldeguer, who was among those who waited at the lobby together with his ward Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista and AJ Banal.

De La Hoya made his own grand entrance at the hotel lobby at around 12:30 p.m. accompanied by GBP chief executive officer Richard Schaefer and trainer Freddie Roach.

The same group of fans who trooped to see Mayweather also lingered around to get a close look at De La Hoya, who has been secretly working out at a Las Vegas gym for days after arriving from his main training camp in Puerto Rico.

The golden boy then took part in a closed-door afternoon workout with Bautista and Banal. The two, along with Aldeguer and wife Christine, as well as an HBO crew were the only ones allowed inside the gym.

De La Hoya and Mayweather take part in today's final press conference before the official weigh-in this Friday.

Ring Magazine, the acknowledged bible of boxing, reported in its June 2007 issue that 12 out of 20 boxing experts it interviewed have favored Mayweather to defeat De la Hoya, with only 8 favoring the latter.

But Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao said in a recent interview with The Freeman's Emmanuel Villaruel that De La Hoya will win by unanimous decision over Mayweather.
