09/29/2008 - Arcadia, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Curlin, North America's all-time leading money winner, is safely in his barn at Santa Anita Park with a possible chance to race in the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic looming. Fresh off his historic second victory in Belmont Park's Jockey Club Gold Cup, the four-year-old colt is bedded down in Barn 27 at Santa Anita.
"He came out of the race great," said trainer Steve Asmussen on Sunday. "What we decide will only matter according to how he is on that race track. We're going to California to work him, and nothing past that."
Curlin has never started on a synthetic track. Majority owner Jess Jackson needs to see how the colt trains on the recently installed Pro-Ride surface and a possible meeting with Big Brown on Saturday, October 25.
"We'll have to see whether Curlin likes the track," said Jackson from California. "We're not trying to avoid (Big Brown) and there is always the Clark Handicap (November 28 at Churchill Downs) or the Japan Cup (December 7) after that. So, we have to take them one at a time."
Leading three-year-old Big Brown is a definite for the Classic and is expected to arrive at Santa Anita several days prior to the race.
"Big Brown is doing good," trainer Rick Dutrow, Jr. said Sunday morning in New York. "I was happy to see what I saw yesterday with Curlin, and I can't wait to get out there and put him (Big Brown) in the gate. We still plan to ship around the 20th, 21st, 22nd (of October), something like that."
It was announced last week that International Equine Acquisitions Holdings, Inc. (IEAH Stables), owners of Big Brown, will donate a percentage of winnings of all IEAH starters in next month's World Championships to Breeders' Cup Charities.
The primary beneficiaries of Breeders' Cup Charities are: Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Breeders' Cup Charities also support causes in southern California and Thoroughbred industry charities.
"IEAH Stables is proud to be supporting such great charities at our world championships," said Michael Iavarone, co-president and CEO of IEAH Stables. "Breeders' Cup's commitment to St. Jude's and Susan G. Komen and others shows the importance of utilizing an event of this magnitude to bring support and awareness to causes which help those who are less fortunate than us."

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.
