Horseracing Betting Lines
12/11/2006 -
Harrisburg, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Glidemaster's run to the trotting Triple
Crown has been recognized by the United States Harness Writers Association.
The three-year-old's owner and driver are among those receiving year ending
honors.
George Segal's Brittany Farms has been voted the Norman Woolworth Memorial
Owner of the Year. Segal's Glidemaster became the eighth trotter to sweep the
Triple Crown races. The trotter finished 2006 with eight wins in 15 starts for
more than $1.9 million. Stablemate Passionate Glide has 13 wins in 15 starts
for almost $1.1 million.
Hall of Fame driver John Campbell, who drove Glidemaster to victory in the
Hambletonian, is the 2006 Driver of the Year. Campbell, however, was unable to
be in the sulky when the three-year-old won the Yonkers Trot. Campbell had
suffered a fractured leg in late October.
The Glen Garnsey Memorial goes to trainer Mickey Burke. The 70-year-old Burke
leads all trainers with 427 wins and has better than $5.5 million.
The Rising Star Award goes to driver Jody Jamieson. The Canadian native has
won 551 races in 2,850 starts for more than $8.6 million.
The re-opening of Tioga Downs in upstate New York drew the attention of the
voters. Track owner Jeff Gural has won the Proximity Award and Jason
Settlemoir has been honored with the Breakthrough Award. Tioga Downs is co-
owned along with Vernon Downs.
The year-end honors will be received at USHWAs annual Awards Dinner on
Sunday, February 25, 2007 at the Borgata Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City,
NJ.

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds
As of February 9, MySportsbook.com has released its coveted 2007 Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament betting odds. “March Madness betting ” only a month away, the top ranked Florida Gators are favorite at 7-2 to win it all. The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.
Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though.
Other teams that the MySportsbook.com members seem to believe will win it all include the west coasts’ top team #2 UCLA (6-1), #3 OSU behind man-child Greg Oden (8-1), and #4 Wisconsin (10-1) behind their defense which has given up 70+ points only three times all season.
Below is a list of some of the favorites to win the 2007 Men’s NCAA Basketball Championship lines. For the full list of teams and March Madness odds be sure to log onto MySportsbook.com.
