07/26/2008 - Oceanport, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Probable favorite Big Brown posted a six- furlong workout at Aqueduct for next Sunday's Haskell Invitational. Big Brown was one of three Haskell invitees to workout Saturday morning around the country.
Big Brown, the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner, skipped over the Aqueduct strip in 1:10 4/5 for six-furlongs. The Haskell will be the colt's first race since his unexplained last place finish in the Belmont Stakes,
Training over the Monmouth Park track on Saturday was hard-luck colt Atoned. Trained by Todd Pletcher, Atoned worked a half-mile in :50 flat over the Jersey Shore strip. Madeline Sciametta, wife of Pletcher assistant trainer Anthony Sciametta, Jr., was aboard as Atoned galloped out five-furlongs in 1:01 3/5, and went six-furlongs in 1:16.
Atoned has finished second a total of seven times in 12 lifetime starts. He was the runner-up in his last two starts, the Spend A Buck and Long Branch Stakes both at Monmouth.
Pletcher will be trying for an unprecedented third straight Haskell victory with Atoned. Last year Pletcher saddled Any Given Saturday to victory and in 2006 Bluegrass Cat picked up the win.
At Churchill Downs, Nistle's Crunch, trained by Ken McPeek, covered five- furlongs in 1:00 3/5 over the main track.
The colt, bred by his owners Michael Harrison and Dr. Alan Furst, is coming off a second-place finish in the Colonial Turf Cup on June 21.
"His only bad race this year was the Florida Derby," Harrison said. "He was just too fast early that day and tired."

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.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
