Havre de Grace taking small steps towards return

Horseracing Betting Lines

12/14/2011 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Owner Rick Porter has posted an update of the status of his leading thoroughbred Havre de Grace. On his stable's website, rockportharbor.com, Porter reports that the four-year-old filly is gradually getting prepared for her 2012 campaign. She is stabled at Vinery Racing's Florida location near Ocala.

"Dr Bramlage has changed his plan for Havre de Grace and she is now under tack walking the shedrow but will start jogging next week if not before," Porter advised. "She will continue to just jog and spend time daily on the aqua tread as well as spend lots of time in a small paddock. This is what she did last year and it sure worked well. She is still scheduled to go to Larry (trainer Jones) on or about January 6th."

Jones is based at Fair Grounds in New Orleans this winter, but Havre de Grace is expected to start in the Apple Blossom Handicap at Oaklawn Park, a race she won this year.

Havre de Grace, the top vote getter in the final NTRA Poll of 2011, is expected to be voted the Eclipse Award as 2011 champion older female. With her impressive record for the year she is also considered a favorite as Horse of the Year.

The filly won five of seven starts in 2011 for more than $1.6 million. Along with the Apple Blossom she won the Azeri, Obeah, Woodward and Beldame. Her only losses were by a nose to Blind Luck in the Delaware Handicap and a fourth in the Breeders' Cup Classic.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
