Horseracing Betting Lines
12/08/2011 -
Inglewood, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Highly regarded colt Morning Line has been
transferred to the stable of trainer John Shirreffs. The four-year-old is now
part of Shirreffs' string at Hollywood Park.
Morning Line, winner of the 2010 Pennsylvania Derby, had been based on the
east coast with trainer Nick Zito. The colt posted just one victory this year
in the Carter Handicap at Aqueduct back in April. In five starts he earned
$267,500 with a second in the Donn Handicap and a third in the Hal's Hope.
Following his Carter win he was fifth in the Salvator Mile at Monmouth Park
and was last in the Whitney at Saratoga. He underwent surgery to remove bone
chips from both knees in August.
For the 2010 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile the colt was the 7-2 program favorite.
After disputing the pace and taking the lead on the final turn Morning Line
lost by a head to Dakota Phone.
In 12 career starts the four-year-old has four wins for more than $1.1
million.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value
If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture. Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).
For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot. The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.
TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.
"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,' it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."
"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.
Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash. Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
