Straight Story surprise winner at Woodbine
Horseracing Betting Lines
11/12/2011 -
Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Longshot Straight Story came north from the
U.S. to post a surprise victory Saturday in the $150,000 Autumn Stakes at
Woodbine Race Course. The five-year-old went off as the biggest longshot in
the 10-horse field at 38-1.
Ridden by Jesse Campbell, Straight Story set the entire pace in the 1 1/16-
mile stakes on Woodbine's synthetic track. The longshot was making just his
third career start on the main track. Trained by Alan Goldberg, Straight Story
has started 19 of 22 races on the grass.
Pressing the leader was 26-1 longshot Court of the Realm and Canada's top
three-year-old male Pender Harbour. The three-year-old moved into second on
the final turn, but could never get past the pacesetter.
Straight Story posted a 1 3/4-length win over Pender Harbour with 5-1 second
choice and defending race winner Stunning Stag closing to finish third.
Mobilizer, second in the Plate Trial, was fourth followed by James Street,
Hotep, Unbridled Kimanchi, 13-10 favorite City Wolf, Court of the Realm and
Artic Fern.
The time for the race was 1:42.87.
"He broke sharp and we just let him run his own race," said winning jockey.
"We thought we'd be laying second. He's pretty adamant, the horse, when he
left the gate to be on the lead. I let him get comfortable and tried to get
away at the top of the lane. I didn't want to let somebody come to me, I
wanted to open it up and try to hold on. He ran really game."
Owned by Richard Santulli, Straight Story made just his second visit to the
winner's circle this year. The five-year-old won the Fort Marcy Stakes at
Belmont Park on May 7. He was sixth in the Manhattan Handicap and seventh in
both the Oceanport and Ashley T. Cole Stakes.
Straight Story picked up $90,000 with Saturday's win to bring his lifetime
earnings to $936,957 with seven victories.
Straight Story returned $78.00, $32.70 and $19.00. Pender Harbour paid $9.10
and $6.20, and Stunning Stag paid $3.50 to show.

Stanley Cup betting
New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.

Kansas City, MO - Kansas City has not officially named Matt Cassel its starting quarterback, but there can be no doubt now.
NFL Betting
After praising his leadership and work ethic through spring workouts, the Chiefs announced Tuesday they had signed the 27-year-old Cassel to a multiyear contract. Terms were not disclosed, but he will almost certainly be one of the highest-paid members of the team.
"We are excited to be able to reach a long-term agreement for Matt Cassel to be a Kansas City Chief for many years to come," owner and board chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. "His proven leadership on and off the field will be a tremendous asset to the organization."
Patriots made him their franchise player, meaning his salary for this season will be about $15 million.
New head coach Todd Haley, taking over for Herm Edwards after a 2-14 season, refused to name a starter at any position during offseason workouts. But it was obvious to everyone the team belonged to Cassel.
"I go out there each and every day with that focus that I'm the starter," Cassel said during a June minicamp. "Competition brings out the best in everybody."
The signing will come as welcome news to Cassel's new coaches and teammates. Amiable and hardworking, online football betting he appeared to win over everyone at minicamp.
"I think he's got some unique leadership qualities. I think his teammates like him and have respect for him. I think he's doing a pretty good job on the field, too," Haley said last month. "He's doing everything that I'm asking him, that our coaches are asking him to do. I don't have one single complaint how he's carrying himself."
After one workout, wide receiver Devard Darling declared Cassel "a breath of fresh air."
"He has a lot of swagger, a lot of confidence. It's good for us," said Darling. "We trust in him that he's going to go out there and lead us all the way."
nse to accommodate his specific abilities.
Trapped on the bench behind Heisman winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC and then unable to unseat Super Bowl MVP Brady at New England, Cassel seemed destined to be a backup all his life. As Brady was helped off the field last September, Cassel seized the opportunity he'd been waiting for since high school.
In his only sustained action since his teens, he hit 349 of 555 passes for 3,949 yards at New England. He had 23 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions as the Patriots, who had gone unbeaten through the regular season the year before, finished 11-5 and out of the playoffs.
Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, who had been Bill Belichick's assistant in New England, engineered the trade after the Patriots became convinced that Brady would recover fully from his knee operation.
"Since Matt arrived in Kansas City, he has embraced the team and the community," Pioli said. "His work ethic, his ability and competitive presence is what we expect from our players."
