Hollendorfer has two for El Camino Real Derby
Horseracing Betting Lines
02/15/2012 -
Berkeley, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - California Derby winner Russian Greek heads a
field of 10 three-year-olds for Saturday's $200,000 El Camino Real Derby at
Golden Gate Fields. The 1 1/8-mile El Camino Real is the final local prep
leading to the Kentucky Derby.
Trained by Jerry Hollendorfer, Russian Greek will be ridden by Aaron Gryder
from post four. The colt is owned by Olympia Star Inc.
In the Cal Derby Russian Greek trailed the field by more than seven-lengths in
the early going before mounting a rally to catch Cahill Chrome just before the
wire and post a length victory.
"I think this horse is developing into a pretty nice colt," said Hollendorfer
following the Cal Derby. "He had little things that bothered him after his
first race so I gave him some time off."
After beginning his career with a win at Santa Rosa last July, Russian Greek
finished fifth in the Golden Nugget Stakes at Golden Gate. He won the Gold
Rush Stakes with another last to first rally at the Bay Area track. The colt
has banked $121,700 with three wins in four career starts.
Hollendorfer also has California Oaks champ Lady of Fifty entered in the El
Camino Real. The filly will break from the far outside post with Russell Baze
riding.
Lady of Fifty, the lone female entered, is owned by her Hall of Fame trainer
and George Todaro. With four wins in five lifetime starts the filly has earned
$154,170 with $138,470 won at Golden Gate.
Cal Derby runner-up Cahill Chrome will start from post three and have Juan
Hernandez in the saddle. The chestnut gelding is trained by Roger Hansen for
owner/breeder Kjell H. Qvale.
Cahill Chrome was 29-1 in the Cal Derby after finishing fifth behind Russian
Greek in the Gold Rush Stakes. He has earned $76,182 in 10 career starts with
three wins.
Here is the full field for the El Camino Real in post position order: Daddy
Nose Best, Julien Leparoux; Senor Rain, Kevin Krigger; Cahill Chrome, Juan
Hernandez; Russian Greek, Aaron Gryder; Unveiled Heat, Frank Alvarado; Lucky
Chappy, Alan Garcia; Handsome Mike, Corey Nakatani; Rockinarz Recruit, Abel
Cedillo; All Squared Away, Kerwin John and Lady of Fifty, Russell Baze.
Previous winners of the race have also captured Triple Crown contests. Tank's
Prospect followed victory in the 1985 El Camino Real with a win in the
Preakness as did Snow Chief the following year. In 1994 Tabasco Cat took the
race before claiming the Preakness and Belmont.
The El Camino Real Derby has a scheduled post-time of 7:15 p.m. (et).

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super Bowl
NFL Super Bowl Betting
The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.
Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.
The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East. Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.
