Pletcher to have two for the Preakness

Horseracing Betting Lines

05/11/2010 - Baltimore, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Eclipse Award winning trainer Todd Pletcher will have two starters, including Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver, in Saturday's $1 million Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course.

The middle jewel of racing's Triple Crown is expected to have a field of 13 three-year-olds.

"He came out of the work (Monday) very well," Pletcher said about Super Saver. "Everything is on 'go,' so we're planning on getting on the plane in the morning."

In addition to Super Saver, with Calvin Borel in the saddle, Pletcher will send out Derby Trial runner-up Aikenite. Javier Castellano has the Preakness mount on Aikenite.

Pletcher will not start Louisiana Derby champ Mission Impazible in Saturday's 1 3/16-mile race. The colt finished ninth in the Kentucky Derby.

"We were on the fence with him and never had fully committed to going," Pletcher said. "We wanted to see how he trained and felt like at the end of the day that he needed a little more time."

The four-time champion trainer noted that Monmouth Park's Haskell Invitational in August is on Mission Impazible's 2010 schedule.

Pletcher, who won his first Kentucky Derby this year, is also after his first Preakness victory.

"We anticipated a full gate and I guess it's close to that," Pletcher said. "It's an interesting Preakness to me with what looks like eight newcomers who did not participate in the Derby. We're happy to be coming with the Derby winner and feel like he's doing very well."

Expected to join Super Saver and Aikenite in the 135th Preakness are Northern Giant, Caracortado, First Dude, Dublin, Hurricane Ike, Jackson Bend, Lookin At Lucky, Paddy O'Prado, Pleasant Prince, Schoolyard Dreams and Yawanna Twist.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.

(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977.  Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.

Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer.  In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season. 

MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season.  Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite.  After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.

Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions.  They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals.  The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
