Rapid Redux equals seasonal win mark
Horseracing Betting Lines
12/13/2011 -
Laurel, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Thoroughbred record holder Rapid Redux led the
entire way Tuesday and won his 19th race of the year and his 21st straight
start. The five-year-old gelding captured Laurel Park's sixth race, a $17,000
starter allowance at 1 1/16-miles.
The victory by Rapid Redux tied the modern mark of 19 wins in a single year
held by Citation and early 20th-century horse Roseben. Citation matched
Roseben's record in 1948, the same year he won the Triple Crown.
"Citation is one of the all-time greats, just to be mentioned in the same
sentence is unbelievable," Rapid Redux' owner Robert Cole said.
Rapid Redux, trained by David Wells, went off as the 3-10 favorite in the
six-horse field. He quickly sprinted to the lead leaving the gate and set the
pace immediately.
Jockey J. D. Acosta had a firm hold of the favorite and never allowed any of
the five challengers to get within a length of the leader. Down the stretch
7-1 third choice Awesome Rhythm tried to catch Rapid Redux, but could not
overtake him.
Rapid Redux finished a half-length in front of Awesome Rhythm and stopped the
timer at 1:45.08 on a fast track. No Brakes, the 7-2 second pick, finished
third followed by First Nite, Shamroge and Zosogood. Derwins Prospector was
scratched.
Rapid Redux has earned $212,584 with his perfect record of 19 wins this year.
With 27 victories in 41 career starts the five-year-old has banked $351,919.
Rapid Redux returned $2.60, $2.40 and $2.10. Awesome Rhythm paid $5.20 and
$2.40, and No Brakes paid $2.10 to show.

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.
