Life At Ten is tops in Del 'Cap

Horseracing Betting Lines

07/17/2010 - Stanton, DE (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Odds-on favorite Life At Ten took the lead shortly after the start and proceeded to dominate in winning Saturday's $750,000 Delaware Handicap at Delaware Park.

The victory in the 1 1/4-mile race automatically puts Life At Ten into this year's Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic at Churchill Downs in November.

Trained by Todd Pletcher, the five-year-old mare notched her sixth straight win and her fifth consecutive stakes victory. Pletcher also added a fourth Del 'Cap win to his resume.

Ridden by John Velazquez, Life At Ten was sent off as the 3-5 favorite in the six-horse field. She was coming off a victory in the Ogden Phipps Handicap at Belmont Park on June 12.

Perfect in four starts this year, Life At Ten was never seriously challenged as she covered the 1 1/4-miles in 2:03.21 on a fast track.

Finishing second, three-lengths back, was Miss Singhsix, who won the Obeah Handicap at Delaware Park last month. She was followed by Funny Moon, Milwaukee Appeal, Miss Match and Million Seller.

"On paper it looked like she was closing the speed, but you never know," and Pletcher. "She was fortunate to get an easy first quarter and half and she really had a lot left in the stretch, We will probably look at the Personal Ensign at Saratoga next and go from there.

"It is just special to win the Delaware Handicap because it is such an important race for fillies and mares. We have always looked at the Del 'Cap as a great opportunity. It has a great tradition and great purse and we have been fortunate enough to win the race four times."

Owned by Candy DeBartolo, Life At Ten captured the Rare Treat Stakes at Aqueduct in February and followed with a win of the Sixty Sails at Hawthorne in April.

As a four-year-old, Life At Ten closed 2009 with consecutive wins in an allowance race and the Snit Stakes. She has won seven of 14 career starts for $909,267, including $450,000 from the Del 'Cap win.

Previously, Pletcher won the Del 'Cap with Irving's Baby (2001), Fleet Indian (2006) and Unbridled Belle (2007). He joins Hall of Fame member Henry Clark as the only trainers to win the event four times.

Life At Ten returned $3.20, $2.40 and $2.10. Miss Singhsix paid $3.20 and $2.40, and Funny Moon paid $2.20 to show.

Earlier on the card, John Velazquez rode Treat Gently to victory in the $200,000 Robert G. Memorial. The Del 'Cap is the second for Velazquez. In 2002, he rode Summer Colony for the win.

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.
