Woodbine to host pair of Challenge races

Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A pair of Breeders' Cup Challenge races take
center-stage for Saturday's Woodbine card. The $2 million Pattison Canadian
International and the $1 million E.P. Taylor Stakes will both be contested on
Woodbine's turf course.
The 1 1/2-mile Pattison Canadian International will send the winner to the
Breeders' Cup Turf at Santa Anita on Saturday, October 25. The winner of the
1 1/4-mile Taylor Stakes for fillies and mares gets a spot in the Filly &
Mare Turf on Friday, October 24.
The International has attracted 10 turf runners with the Taylor having nine
females entered. The two races will be televised on ESPN.
The 2-1 morning-line favorite for the International is Doctor Dino from
Europe. Ridden for the first time by Frankie Dettori, the six-year-old will
leave from post three. Dettori won two previous Internationals, Mutafaweq in
2000 and Sulamani in 2004.
Doctor Dino is trained by Richard Gibson for Javier Martinez Salmean of
Spain. The globe-trotting thoroughbred won last year's Man o' War after
finishing third in the Arlington Million. In his career he has won eight of 27
starts for better than $2.75 million.
"We feel we have him in good shape for his autumn campaign," noted Gibson.
"He's a remarkable athlete in that he can put out of the box every day with a
big smile on his face. He loves his work."
Northern Dancer Stakes champ Champs Elysees is the 7-2 second choice and will
break from post five. Garrett Gomez, who was aboard for the Northern Dancer,
returns to ride for trainer Bobby Frankel and Juddmonte Farms.
"He came out of the race good," said Frankel. "He's very good right now. He's
doing everything perfectly. Sometimes they don't run well (after a big
effort), but I think he's going to run an even better race (than in the
Northern Dancer)."
Champs Elysees has earned more than $1 million in 18 career starts with four
victories.
Here is the complete field for the Pattison Canadian International in post
position order: Mourilyan, John Egan 15-1; Marlang, Richard Dos Ramos 15-1;
Doctor Dino, Frankie Dettori 2-1; Quijano, Andrasch Starke 4-1; Champs
Elysees, Garrett Gomez 7-2; Marsh Side, Javier Castellano 15-1; Lauro, Eduardo
Pedroza 20-1; Seaside Retreat, Patrick Husbands 10-1; Lucarno, Jimmy Fortune
8-1 and Spice Route, James McAleney 20-1.
J'ray, the 5-2 favorite, tops the field for the E.P. Taylor Stakes. The five-
year-old mare will start from post two with Joe Bravo coming in from New
Jersey to ride. Bravo has won both times with J'ray, the Matchmaker at
Monmouth Park and the Canadian Stakes here on September 7.
Todd Pletcher trains for Lawrence Goichman and J'ray has won nine of 23
lifetime starts for $866,889.
Here is the complete Taylor Stakes field in post position order: Sealy Hill,
Patrick Husbands 8-1; J'ray, Joe Bravo 5-2; Classy Landlady, Tyler Pizarro
20-1; Folk Opera, Frankie Dettori 4-1; Toque de Queda, Garrett Gomez 7-2;
Green Lyons, Jimmy Fortune 15-1; Callwood Dancer, Eurico Rosa da Silva 10-1;
Royal Pleasure, Rosemary Homeister 15-1 and Hostess, Javier Castellano 6-1.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines
Now that the 2007 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow. Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season. Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2007 season, the New Orleans Saints. These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order. As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS. The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens. The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds:
Saints +6 @ Colts -6
Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em)
Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em)
Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5

MySportsbook.com Posts Odds on 2007 Heisman Trophy
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best odds of winning the 2007 Heisman Trophy at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
Current betting odds for the 2007 Heisman trophy are:
Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma)
Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State)
Michael Bush (RB, Louisville)
Steve Slaton (RB, West Virginia)
Brian Brohm (QB, Louisville)
Chris Leak (QB, Florida)
