10/24/2008 - Arcadia, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Leading female thoroughbred Zenyatta came from the back of the pack to capture Friday's $2 million Ladies' Classic at Santa Anita to conclude the first day of the 25th Breeders' Cup World Thoroughbred Championships. Jockey Mike Smith notched his second Breeders' Cup win on the day.
Owned by Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Moss, Zenyatta was sent off as the 1-2 favorite in the eight-horse field of fillies and mares. She was 10 lengths off the leaders in the 1 1/8-mile race when Smith set her down for the rally.
Running on the outside, Zenyatta caught the leaders with 200 yards to go and went on to post a 1 1/2-length victory over Cocoa Beach. Three-year-old Music Note finished third with Carriage Trail and last year's Distaff runner-up Hystericalady in a dead-heat for fourth.
The time for the Ladies' Classic was 1:46.85 on the synthetic surface.
Zenyatta, trained by John Shirreffs, is perfect in nine career starts and seven races in 2008. She adds $1 million to her bankroll, which totals a little more than $2 million.
Smith, who earlier won the Juvenile Fillies, has been aboard the filly the last six starts. During that time Zenyatta has won Lady's Secret, Clement Hirsch, Vanity, Milady and Apple Blossom.
Formerly known as the Breeders' Cup Distaff, Smith won the race in 1995 with Inside Information, with Ajina in 1997 and in 2002 with Azeri.
Zenyatta paid $3.00, $2.60 and $2.10. Cocoa Beach returned $4.60 and $3.80, and Music Note paid $3.80 to show.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
Be sure to log on to MySportsbook.com to check out the complete odds for NFL MVP as well as all of the new football related futures. With the popularity of NFL futures, these betting lines will be sure to change as the money comes in; get the early sports lines now.
