Roll With Joe all alone to win Messenger Stakes

Horseracing Betting Lines

11/12/2011 - Yonkers, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Odds-on favorite Roll With Joe put away the competition at the top of the lane to easily win Saturday's $401,000 Messenger Stakes at Yonkers Raceway. The Messenger is the final leg of pacing's Triple Crown.

Trained by Ed Hart, Roll With Joe settled into second behind Mojo Terror through the first half-mile of the mile pace for three-year-olds. Driver Ron Pierce got the 1-20 favorite into the lead on the backstretch and the two proceeded to leave the five rivals behind.

Roll With Joe left no doubt about who was the best horse in the race as he cruised to an eight-length victory over Sea Venture followed by Sir Ziggy's Tam, Keystone Velocity, Mojo Terror and Rollwithitharry.

The time for the mile pace was 1:52 4/5.

Roll With Joe, co-owned by breeder Winbak Farm, Blue Chip Bloodstock, Stephen Demeter and Not To Worry Stable, recorded his sixth win in 14 starts this year and adds $200,500 to his bankroll. The winner of the Meadowlands Pace has career earnings of $1,649,725 with eight wins in 23 starts.

"He's been the leading money-winning standardbred all year long," the winning trainer said. "He's been right there every week. He raced early on; I think the only (race) we missed was the New Jersey Classic because he cut himself. He's been there all year long and he's been very good. I don't see anyone ahead of him myself. He's the three-year-old leader to me."

Along with the Meadowlands Pace the colt won the Battle of the Brandywine and was second in last month's Breeders Crown race for three-year-old male pacers and the Little Brown Jug. Roll With Joe was sixth in the Cane Pace as the 3-5 favorite.

Roll With Joe paid $2.10 for the win. There was no place or show wagering.

Betterthancheddar won the first jewel of the Triple Crown, the Cane Pace, and Big Bad John won the middle race, the Little Brown Jug. No Pan Intended was the last Triple Crown champ in 2003.

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook

Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds.  The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.

Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.

Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).

FOOTBALL BETTING : Cassel Signs Contract

Kansas City, MO - Kansas City has not officially named Matt Cassel its starting quarterback, but there can be no doubt now.

NFL Betting
After praising his leadership and work ethic through spring workouts, the Chiefs announced Tuesday they had signed the 27-year-old Cassel to a multiyear contract. Terms were not disclosed, but he will almost certainly be one of the highest-paid members of the team.
"We are excited to be able to reach a long-term agreement for Matt Cassel to be a Kansas City Chief for many years to come," owner and board chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. "His proven leadership on and off the field will be a tremendous asset to the organization."
Patriots made him their franchise player, meaning his salary for this season will be about $15 million.
New head coach Todd Haley, taking over for Herm Edwards after a 2-14 season, refused to name a starter at any position during offseason workouts. But it was obvious to everyone the team belonged to Cassel.
"I go out there each and every day with that focus that I'm the starter," Cassel said during a June minicamp. "Competition brings out the best in everybody."
The signing will come as welcome news to Cassel's new coaches and teammates. Amiable and hardworking, online football betting he appeared to win over everyone at minicamp.
"I think he's got some unique leadership qualities. I think his teammates like him and have respect for him. I think he's doing a pretty good job on the field, too," Haley said last month. "He's doing everything that I'm asking him, that our coaches are asking him to do. I don't have one single complaint how he's carrying himself."
After one workout, wide receiver Devard Darling declared Cassel "a breath of fresh air."
"He has a lot of swagger, a lot of confidence. It's good for us," said Darling. "We trust in him that he's going to go out there and lead us all the way."
nse to accommodate his specific abilities.
Trapped on the bench behind Heisman winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC and then unable to unseat Super Bowl MVP Brady at New England, Cassel seemed destined to be a backup all his life. As Brady was helped off the field last September, Cassel seized the opportunity he'd been waiting for since high school.
In his only sustained action since his teens, he hit 349 of 555 passes for 3,949 yards at New England. He had 23 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions as the Patriots, who had gone unbeaten through the regular season the year before, finished 11-5 and out of the playoffs.
Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, who had been Bill Belichick's assistant in New England, engineered the trade after the Patriots became convinced that Brady would recover fully from his knee operation.
"Since Matt arrived in Kansas City, he has embraced the team and the community," Pioli said. "His work ethic, his ability and competitive presence is what we expect from our players."
