Horseracing Betting Lines

04/03/2010 - Arcadia, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Front running Sidney's Candy took the lead out of the gate and went on to post a commanding win in Saturday's $750,000 Santa Anita Derby. Odds-on 4-5 favorite Lookin At Lucky finished third in the 10 horse field.

Sidney's Candy, starting from post four with Joe Talamo riding, immediately took the lead coming out of the gate in the 1 1/8-mile race. Lookin At Lucky and jockey Garrett Gomez were next as the field entered the clubhouse turn.

Entering the backstretch, Sidney's Candy set the pace and was followed by Who's Up, Skipshot and Lookin At Lucky along the rail. With a half-mile to go, the leader was followed by Who's Up, with Lookin At Lucky racing in third.

However, Lookin At Lucky quickly took back from his position near the lead while the field was midway through the turn for home. The favorite appeared to be squeezed a bit, which forced him to drop back.

Around the final turn, Sidney's Candy, the 7-2 second choice, still had the lead on the inside, with Skipshot in second. The leader entered the stretch with a clear lead and went on to draw away from the competition.

Sidney's Candy registered a 4 1/2-length victory over a late running Setsuko. Lookin At Lucky, the 2009 champion two-year-old colt, rebounded down the stretch to get third, with Caracortado finishing fourth.

Rounding out the order of finish was Skipshot, Alphie's Bet, Thomas Baines, Posse Power, Who's Up and Cardiff Giant.

Sidney's Candy completed the 1 1/8-miles in 1:48 flat over Santa Anita's artificial surface.

Trained by John Sadler, Sidney's Candy is owned by the Sid and Jenny Craig Trust. The chestnut colt posted his fourth career win in six starts. Saturday's $450,000 puts his lifetime earnings at $673,560.

The three-year-old is undefeated in 2010 with prior wins in the San Vicente and San Felipe Stakes.

Sidney's Candy paid $9.60, $5.40 and $3.00. Setsuko returned $10.00 and $4.80, and Lookin At Lucky paid $2.10 to show.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.

Just because it is the All-Star break doesn’t mean that you can’t bet on NBA hoops this weekend.  Be sure to log onto MySportsbook.com to bet on who you think will cut down the nets this July.
