Horseracing Betting Lines

09/13/2008 - Campbellville, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Hambletonian champ Deweycheatumnhowe rebounded from his first career loss to win the $1 million Canadian Trotting Classic Final Saturday at Mohawk Racetrack. Starting from the far outside post the three-year-old trotted the mile in 1:53 2/5.

With trainer and co-owner Ray Schnittker driving, Deweycheatumnhowe posted a two-length victory over 7-2 third choice Clerk Magistrate. Crazed, who beat Deweycheatumnhowe last week, faded to third after setting most of the pace.

Deweycheatumnhowe, leaving from post 10, took the lead going into the clubhouse turn and led the field into the backstretch. Crazed, driven by Tim Tetrick, charged up on the outside to assume the lead midway up the backstretch.

Deweycheatumnhowe raced in second behind Crazed with Clerk Magistrate joining the pair on the lead. Down the stretch the 6-5 favorite moved to the outside of Crazed and powered his way to victory and avenge the only loss in his career.

"I really didn't like my chances," Schnittker said, "but he just showed me how good a horse he is. He's an unbelievable horse."

Clerk Magistrate, the 3-1 third choice, was second with Crazed third in the 10 horse field.

Completing the order finish was Yonkers Trot winner Napoleon, Mccarron, Velocity Hall, Nureyev, Atomic Hall, B Strike Three and Celebrity Secret.

This year Deweycheatumnhowe has won eight of nine starts more than $1.6 million. Along with the Hambletonian the colt won the World Trotting Derby and the Stanley Dancer Memorial this season.

"I don't know, it just seems like he threw in a clunker," said Schnittker about last week's loss in an elimination race. "He just wasn't on top his game."

Overall, the colt has earned $2.8 million with 18 wins in 19 lifetime races.

Deweycheatumnhowe paid $4.60, $3.20 and $2.20. Clerk Magistrate returned $4.00 and $2.50, and 3-2 second choice Crazed paid $2.10 to show.

Big East Conference odds

Work left to do: Villanova, Syracuse, DePaul, West Virginia, Providence

Notre Dame and Louisville appear to have done enough to make the move, so we'll make them locks. The Cardinals, despite a modest RPI, are trending way up and have clinched at least a tie for third in the Big East, which should be more than enough with their pair of big road wins. Villanova got back to .500 and gets back to more solid footing. Syracuse got a very important road win and crippled a fellow contender in the process. West Virginia's fate could be in its hands Tuesday at Pitt.

Work left to do:

Villanova [18-9 (7-7), RPI: 21, SOS: 5] Pounded Rutgers to get back to .500. If Cats can get their last two (at UConn, vs. Syracuse), that should be enough with strong computer numbers and a host of wins away from The Pavilion. The Cats have beaten Texas and swept the Big 5 (never easy in Philly), but have a couple of losses to bubble teams (Xavier, Drexel), too. I still think they'll be OK, possibly even at 8-8.

Syracuse [20-8 (9-5), RPI: 53, SOS: 62] History says 10 wins will be plenty, but it might be hard for the Orange to get that last one with a final two vs. G'town, which is trying to win the league title, and at Villanova, which will be desperate for a W. The relative lack of nonconference heft and the weak computer numbers are still concerns, but the Orange have won four in a row and got a very, very big win at Providence on Saturday.

DePaul [16-12 (8-7), RPI: 54, SOS: 18] Beat Cincy and should get past South Florida to get to 9-7, but then what? They have beaten Kansas and Cal (right after the DeVon Hardin injury) earlier this season, but also have lost to Bradley and Purdue, among others. They'll likely need a couple of BE tourney wins, too, but we'll see ...

West Virginia [19-7 (8-6), RPI: 58, SOS: 125] The game at Pitt on Tuesday night could decide the Mountaineers' fate (barring a deep tournament run). They can still get to 9-7 in the Big East without it by beating Cincinnati, but the nine wins would be against UConn, Villanova, St. John's, South Florida, DePaul, Rutgers, Seton Hall twice and the Bearcats. Beating bubble foes is fine, but where's the beef? Outside of beating PG-less UCLA in nonconference play (still a top quality win), there's not a lot to fall back on (besides maybe NC State). WVU vs. Syracuse would be an interesting debate, as the teams don't play in the Big East regular season. WVU has the best win, but Cuse has played the much better schedule.

Providence [17-10 (7-7), RPI: 70, SOS: 33] The Friars likely saw their at-large hopes die at home in the four-point loss to Syracuse, barring an unexpected run to the Big East semis or more. The RPI, bad already, won't be helped by playing St. John's and South Florida in the final two league games.
