Horseracing Betting Lines

12/29/2011 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Media Eclipse Award in the Television - Live Racing Programming category has been given to ESPN for its live coverage of the 2011 Breeders' Cup Classic. This is the third straight year that the network has been honored in the Live Television category.

"To win this award three years in a row is a great testament to our overall production," said Mike McQuade, who is Vice President of Event Production for ESPN and coordinating producer for the Breeders' Cup Classic telecast. "We treat the Breeders' Cup as a big event and we produce it as a big event. This year's Classic had a number of captivating storylines and our group did an excellent job telling these stories and bringing the audience right to the action."

November's $5 million Classic featured leading thoroughbred Havre de Grace, a four-year-old filly taking on male runners. The 1 1/4-mile race was won by 14-1 longshot Drosselmeyer whose jockey, Mike Smith, had won the event two years earlier aboard the mare Zenyatta.

ESPN won the award last year for its Breeders' Cup Classic telecast and in 2009 for the telecast of the Belmont Stakes, shown on ABC.

The Media Eclipse Award for Television-Features goes to HRTV for the documentary "Inside Information: Randy Romero." The program was broadcast on December 26 of last year.

"Because of the subject matter - physical and emotional abuse, severe burns, the horrific breakdown of Go For Wand - this was a show that was emotionally hard on everyone who worked on it, but no more so than for the man who lived through the events," said Amy Zimmerman, executive producer of HRTV and the co-writer of the documentary. "Everyone at HRTV is very grateful to Randy Romero for his honesty and assistance in letting us to tell his story."

HRTV has now won Media Eclipse Awards four times. Last year it was honored in the Television-Features category for "Inside Information: Swale" the 1984 Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes winner. Earlier the network picked up an award for best Feature in 2006 for the Pony Highway production of "On the Muscle" and in 2008 for the Hennegan Brothers' documentary "The First Saturday in May."

The Eclipse Awards are voted upon by the National Thoroughbred Racing Association, Daily Racing Form and the National Turf Writers And Broadcasters. The 41st annual Eclipse Awards will be presented on Monday, January 16 in Beverly Hills, CA.

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds  
As of February 9, MySportsbook.com has released its coveted 2007 Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament betting odds. “March Madness betting ” only a month away, the top ranked Florida Gators are favorite at 7-2 to win it all. The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though.

Other teams that the MySportsbook.com members seem to believe will win it all include the west coasts’ top team #2 UCLA (6-1), #3 OSU behind man-child Greg Oden (8-1), and #4 Wisconsin (10-1) behind their defense which has given up 70+ points only three times all season.
