05/04/2010 - Baltimore, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Trainer John Sadler said on Tuesday that Robby Albarado will be the rider for Hurricane Ike if the three-year-old starts in the Preakness Stakes. Albarado picks up the mount from Calvin Borel, who is committed to ride Kentucky Derby champ Super Saver.
Borel, who won the 2009 Preakness with filly Rachel Alexandra, has been in the saddle for Hurricane Ike's last two starts. On April 3 the colt was second to Eightyfiveinafifty in the Bay Shore Stakes at Aqueduct. Three weeks later he won the Derby Trial at Churchill Downs.
Tuesday morning at Churchill Downs, Hurricane Ike went through a five-furlong workout in 1:00 2/5 with Borel in the saddle.
"It was very good and he galloped out well," Borel said. "He was a very happy horse the last time I rode him and I thought he was about the same today."
With blinkers on, Hurricane Ike galloped out six-furlongs in 1:15.
"My assistant (Lupillo Alferez) told me that he cooled out good and seems to have come out of it in good order," said Sadler from Santa Anita. "Our plans are to work him back on Monday and if that goes well, then we'll run him in the Preakness. Robby Albarado will ride him if he runs in the Preakness."
Owned by Ike and Dawn Thrash, Hurricane Ike has two wins in eight career starts with earnings of $249,732.
"He is a horse that is on the improve," Sadler noted. "He is not far behind the other two (Sidney's Candy and Line of David). He just had some minor things happen during the Derby trail but he is a pretty nice horse."
Three years ago Albarado guided Curlin to victory in the Preakness by nosing out Kentucky Derby winner Street Sense with Borel riding. In that year's Run for the Roses, Curlin and Albarado were third behind Street Sense.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.
Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.
The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East. Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.
