Horseracing Betting Lines

11/05/2011 - Louisville. KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Court Vision outfought Turallure to win Saturday's $2 million Breeders' Cup Mile at Churchill Downs. Three-time defending winner Goldikova finished third and survived an objection.

Goldikova went off as the 6-5 favorite in the 13-horse field. Last year's runner-up Gio Ponti was the 5-1 second pick and Court Vision was 64-1.

Get Stormy set the pace while the favorite was a couple lengths back on the inside. Goldikova had a short lead coming out of the final turn with Court Vision second and Woodbine Mile winner Turallure third.

The three fought down the stretch, but Goldikova could not hold her short lead. Court Vision and Turallure hit the wire together with the longest priced horse in the field getting the nose victory.

Goldikova closed her career with a third in the race she made history. She was kept in that spot by the stewards after reviewing the race. Gio Ponti was fourth.

The time for the Mile was 1:37.05.

Court Vision was ridden by Robby Albarado for trainer Dale Romans and owner B. Wayne Hughes. The win was worth $1.08 million and the six-year-old has won nine of 31 starts for more than $3.7 million. He was coming off a seventh in the Woodbine Mile.

Court Vision returned a record $131.60, $48.60 and $21.40. Turallure paid $10.00 and $7.00, and Goldikova paid $2.40 to show.

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses
The 2008 Kentucky Derby has announced a $1-million bonus for this weekend’s 134th ‘Run for the Roses’ and MySportsbook.com is doing the same.

Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details.

According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800).

Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund.

''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.''
    
Meanwhile, the Derby favorite – Curlin – is going against the odds this year. It's been 125 years since Apollo won after skipping his 2-year-old season, and not since Regret in 1915 has such a lightly seasoned horse worn the blanket of red roses.

Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby.

''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.''

Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year.
   
Asmussen dismissed suggestions that Curlin's lack of racing experience could keep him from the winner's circle.

”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?''
   
The Kentucky Derby is at 4:04 p.m., ET Saturday.
