Horseracing Betting Lines

05/31/2010 - Elmont, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Trainer Todd Pletcher announced Monday that Interactif will start in this year's 142nd edition of the $1 million Belmont Stakes on Saturday. The three-year-old is owned by brothers Alain and Gerard Wertheimer.

"We decided to call an audible and send him to the Belmont," said Pletcher. "Two works ago, we had it in our minds, and after surveying the field we decided to go.

"His second to Sidney's Candy in the San Felipe was very good, although we were a little disappointed with his performance in the Blue Grass. We had the Derby in mind after [the Blue Grass], but thought the three weeks might be a little fast back."

The colt was fourth in the Blue Grass Stakes to Stately Victor who will also start in the Belmont. In the San Felipe Stakes Interactif was second to eventual Santa Anita Derby champ Sidney's Candy.

Interactif will be ridden by Javier Castellano and puts the field for this year's Belmont at a dozen.

The field for the 1 1/2-mile Belmont will also include Dwyer Stakes runner-up Drosselmeyer, Preakness runner-up First Dude, Dwyer Stakes winner Fly Down, Lone Star Derby champ Game On Dude, Kentucky Derby runner-up Ice Box, Make Music for Me, Spangled Star, Blue Grass Stakes winner Stately Victor, Stay Put, Dave in Dixie and Uptowncharlybrown.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
