06/23/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - In another example of being too cautious and showing no interest in the racing fan, Arkansas Derby winner Line of David was retired from racing earlier this week.
The colt had only minor physical problems, but his new owner decided that it would be better to retire him than allow the horse to heal. Line of David was purchased by B. Wayne Hughes from Ike and Dawn Thrash and will begin his stud career at Hughes' Spendthrift Farm near Lexington.
Line of David, 17-1 at post-time, won this years Arkansas Derby in his first try on a regular dirt track. He defeated eventual Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver and made his last career start in the Run for the Roses.
"We thought he was a nice horse on turf," noted trainer John Sadler following the Arkansas win, "and we wanted to try him on a natural surface."
Not sure why the colt was retired so quickly. The new owner should have let Line of David rest through the summer and get him ready for a fall campaign.
People are always saying that in order to build interest in horseracing the horses have to be kept in competition longer. Line of David being a speed horse probably would have become a very good sprinter if allowed to race as an older thoroughbred.
Minor injuries for a horse are a part of the game. I'm not saying Line of David should have competed with them, but at the same time minor injuries are not reason enough for retirement.
Allow horses to race and given necessary time to recuperate. Every fan wants the best horses to stick around longer than they are. We all would like to see great matchups in the best stakes races.
Extra congratulations go to the connections of Zenyatta and Rachel Alexandra for bringing the two champs back for 2010. This type of love of racing seems to be rare in this era.

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.
Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.
Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.
The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
