11/11/2008 - Louisville, KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Veteran jockey Julien Leparoux won seven races Tuesday to equal Hall of Fame rider Pat Day's one-day riding record for Churchill Downs. The 25-year-old native of France won all but two of the races in which he had a mount.
Leparoux won the first six races on Churchill Downs' Tuesday card. He did not have a horse in the sixth race, but came back to win the seventh and eighth races. After failing to win the ninth race, Leparoux finished second in the final race aboard Sinister, a mount he picked up from Calvin Borel.
"I got a little lucky picking up the one mount for Calvin," said Leparoux, who took over for Borel on Troutdale in race three, because Borel's mother died Monday night and the rider took off his mounts. "I really wanted to win it for Calvin. This was just my lucky day."
Leparoux won the first five races on Diva's Gold ($6.40), Yikes ($7.80), Troutdale ($8.40), Gerivello ($10.40) and Variant ($11). He returned after the sixth race to win aboard Majestic Feline ($4.40) and Runaway West ($12).
In race nine Leparoux was eight of nine aboard Rocketinthegate. Race 10 saw the jockey finish in second with Sinister, 2 1/4 lengths behind Next Adventure.
Shaun Bridgmohan was winning jockey in races nine and 10.
Day's record has stood for more than 24 years when he won seven of the eight races on June 20, 1984.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
