Robby Albarado has mount for another Preakness win

Horseracing Betting Lines

05/08/2008 - Baltimore, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Robby Albarado, the leading jockey this year in earnings, will have an oppotunity to claim his second straight Preakness Stakes. Trainer Ken McPeek has informed Pimlico Race Course that his Racecar Rhapsody will be part of the field in this year's Preakness.

"The horse is training really well," McPeek said. "We kind of feel like we might be running for second money with Big Brown being as impressive as he's been but you never know."

Albarado has the ride on the colt for the middle jewel of racing's Triple Crown. In six career starts, all with Albarado in the saddle, Racecar Rhapsody has earned $148,391 with one win, a second and a third place finish.

Racecar Rhapsody has posted fourth place finishes this year in the Lexington and Lane's End Stakes.

Albarado guided Curlin to victory in last year's Preakness over 2007 Kentucky Derby winner Street Sense. This year Albarado rode Curlin to a sensational win in the $6 million Dubai World Cup. Through Sunday, Albarado has just over $7.5 million in earnings.

Also confirmed for the Preakness is Illinois Derby champ Recapturetheglory. Co-owner Ronnie Lamarque said from New Orleans on Wednesday that his three- year-old will again take on Kentucky Derby winner Big Brown.

"First of all we know that we belong," said Lamarque. "Of the 33,000 horses that were foaled three years ago, twenty of them made it to the Derby and we beat fifteen of them. Big Brown is a bear but we're not going to run in it to run second. We're there to win and we believe it is a speed favoring racetrack. I'll look at all the other entrants. They don't scare me at all and I believe our horse definitely belongs and we feel like the Preakness is our kind of race."

Fifth in the Run for the Roses, Recapturetheglory is trained by co-owner Louie Roussel. Lamarque and Roussel won the Preakness Stakes in 1988 with Risen Star.

"Twenty years ago my life was centered around a horse named Risen Star. He was magnificent and he brought another meaning to us in New Orleans and especially Louie," added Lamarque. "Recapturetheglory is a different kind of horse. I'm twenty years my senior. I'm laid back somewhat now. I was a terror, now I'm a little more confined. If I get in the winners' circle you never know if you're going to hear a song from me so don't turn off the television you just never know."

The Preakness starter list now stands at nine: Big Brown, Recapturetheglory, Behindatthebar, Giant Moon, Kentucky Bear, Racecar Rhapsody, Stevil, Tres Borrachos and Yankee Bravo. Others still considering the 1 3/16 mile race are Harlem Rocker, Riley Tucker and Macho Again.

Super Bowl XLIV Odds

Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.

Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.

Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds

With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.

That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.

Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.

After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.

The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).
