09/18/2008 - Delaware, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Shadow Play, winner of the first elimination heat, captured Thursday's Little Brown Jug with a wire-to-wire victory in the second heat. The three-year-old pacer won the second leg of Pacing's Triple Crown by 6 1/4 lengths in a time of 1:50 1/5 for the mile.
Driven by David Miller from the inside post, Shadow Play was sent off as the 3-5 favorite in the eight-horse field. Finishing second was Lonestar Legend, winner of the second elimination, and third elimination victor Art Official was third. Art Official, the 2-1 second choice, won the first jewel in the Triple Crown, the Cane Pace, on Labor Day at Freehold.
The second heat race had a purse of $264,589, while the three elimination races each had a purse of $58,797. The Little Brown Jug victory by Shadow Play was worth a total of $161,693.
"Horse racing is very popular there." said co-owner and former NHL star Serge Savard about Canada. "One day I told my son we should buy a piece of a horse with Dr. Moore (co-owner veterinarian Ian Moore) just to be involved locally. We told Dr. Moore and he came back to us a year later and said he'd just bought one, Shadow Play, and he sold me 25-percent. It turned out to be a pretty good horse."
Trained by Ian Moore, Shadow Play has won 14 of 33 career starts for $527,248. The pacer won the $350,000 Adios in August at Pocono Downs in Pennsylvania.
"I've been to a couple big races, but I've never been to the Jug," Savard said. "I cannot win [the] Stanley Cup anymore, but I still have a shot at winning a big race. It's fun when you're involved with the right people, and I think I am. They just love the horses."
Shadow Play and Miller won the first elimination of the 63rd Little Brown Jug in 1:50 at the Delaware, Ohio Fair. Shadow Play wore down Badlands Nitro, who set the pace, to win by 1 1/2 lengths. Badlands Nitro held on for second with Giddy Up Lucky finishing third.
Following the elimination, trainer George Teague noted that Badlands Nitro became sick and had to be scratched from the second heat.
Leaving from the inside post in the second elimination, Lonestar Legend went wire-to-wire and post a stakes record of 1:49 3/5. Rudy Rednose was second and Mystery Chase finished third. Miller was the driver of Lonestar Legend. Dave Palone picked up the drive in the deciding heat.
In the third elimination, 1-9 favorite Art Official and driver Ron Pierce overtook pacesetter Santanna Blue Chip down the stretch to win in a time of 1:52 3/5. Goddess's Justin was third in the seven-horse field.
The final leg of Pacing's Triple Crown will be the Messenger Stakes at Yonkers on Saturday, October 25.
No Pan Intended, in 2003, was the last pacer to capture the Triple Crown.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year
Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.
Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.
With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.
Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.
Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.

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.
