07/15/2008 - East Rutherford, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Leading three-year-old pacer Somebeachsomewhere is the 2-5 morning-line favorite for Saturday's $1.1 million Meadowlands Pace. The colt will take on nine rivals in the one-mile event.
Winner of the North America Cup last month, Somebeachsomewhere will start from post two with Paul MacDonnell driving. The pacer is trained by co-owner Brent MacGrath and won one of last week's three elimination races.
"He's healthy, he's happy, he's strong, he's fast, he's good gaited," McGrath stated. "He's good. I think he'll be a stronger horse next week just because of the month off."
Somebeachsomewhere is perfect in 10 career starts and has lifetime earnings of $1.6 million.
Also winning elimination heats were Share The Delight and Sand Shooter.
The 6-1 second choice is Badlands Nitro with driver Brian Sears. Third to Somebeachsomewhere in the elimination race, Badlands Nitro will start from post nine for trainer George Teague, Jr.
"Somebeachsomewhere was awesome," said Teague following last week's race. "He's a monster and looked every bit the part of it. Good horse, great horse, he definitely deserves the titles he's gotten so far."
This year Badlands Nitro has earned $867,488 while winning six of eight starts.
Sand Shooter has been installed as the 8-1 third choice and will leave from the three-hole with Tim Tetrick driving.
Sand Shooter, trained by Jim Arledge Jr., has won eight of 20 career races for $410,957. This year the three-year-old has earned $81,312 with three wins in six starts.
"I don't even think about winning because the odds are so strong against us," said Bill Sanders, who owns Sand Shooter with Jerry Silva. "We're going against the best horse I've ever seen. There were some before me, like Nihilator, but this is the best I've seen. We're going to try to win it, but it's just a great honor to be among 10 elite horses."
Here is the complete field for the 32nd Meadowlands Pace: Share The Delight, John Campbell 10-1; Somebeachsomewhere, Paul MacDonell 2-5; Sand Shooter, Tim Tetrick 8-1; Atochia, Brian Sears 30-1; Mucho Sleazy, David Miller 30-1; Art Official, Ron Pierce 10-1; Bullville Powerful, Yannick Gingras 12-1; Dontloseyourdayjob, Eric Goodell 30-1; Badlands Nitro, Brian Sears 6-1 and Tiz A Masterpiece, Andy Miller 30-1.

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.

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.
