06/26/2010 - Campbellville, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dan Patch Award winner Sportswriter led most of the way and was able to hold on to win Saturday's $1.5 million North America Cup at Mohawk Raceway. The three-year-old pacer covered the mile in 1:48 3/5.
Driven by Mark MacDonald, Sportswriter took the lead around the first turn and set the pace up the backstretch. Racing in second was Kyle Major with We Will See in third and Fred and Ginger fourth in the 10-horse field.
Last year's two-year-old pacing colt champion took the field into the far turn as Fred and Ginger made a move into second with Kyle Major in third and 2-1 favorite Rock N Roll Heaven advancing into fourth.
Trained by Casie Coleman, Sportswriter had the lead coming off the final turn and into the stretch. We Will See, driven by Brett Miller, came charging along the rail to challenge the leader.
Sportswriter held off We Will See down the stretch to post a one-length victory in the year's first major harness race. Finishing third was 95-1 longshot Piece Of The Rock followed by Rock N Roll Heaven, Delmarvalous, Fred and Ginger, One More Laugh, Kyle Major, Art Professor and All Speed Hanover.
Sportswriter, owned by Steve Calhoun, West Wins Stable and Southwind Farm, notched his first win of the season, picking up $750,000 for the effort. After winning seven of eight races in 2009, the pacer has earned $1,645,411 in his career with eight wins in 12 lifetime starts.
Earlier in the evening, Coleman and MacDonald combined to win the $666,000 Fan Hanover with Western Silk to become the first trainer-driver combination to win both the Fan Hanover and Pepsi North America Cup.
In last week's elimination race, Sportswriter was third to Rock N Roll Heaven.
Sportswriter returned $8.50, $5.50 and $4.60. We Will See paid $21.40 and $10.50, and Piece Of The Rock paid $15.20 to show.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
