Careless Jewel shines in Alabama Stakes

Horseracing Betting Lines

08/22/2009 - Saratoga Springs, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Careless Jewel, winner of the Delaware Oaks, ran away from the field down the stretch to capture Saturday's $600,000 Alabama Stakes for three-year-old fillies at Saratoga Race Course. The gray filly emulated Rachel Alexandra by posting an 11-length victory over her seven rivals.

Ridden by Robert Landry, Careless Jewel was first out of the gate and was joined by Be Fair. Be Fair took the lead entering the clubhouse turn with Careless Jewel second on the outside and 5-2 favorite Milwaukee Appeal running in third.

Be Fair, ridden by Julien Leparoux, took the field up the backstretch with Careless Jewel pressing the pace followed by Milwaukee Appeal and Casanova Move.

As the field approached the far turn Be Fair and Careless Jewel were on even terms as Milwaukee Appeal and jockey John Velazquez advanced from the outside.

Careless Jewel took the lead on the final turn as Milwaukee Appeal grabbed second in the 1 1/4 mile race. Trained by Josie Carroll, Careless Jewel quickly opened her advantage over her challengers and won easily on a track labeled as 'good.'

Milwaukee Appeal, winner of the Woodbine Oaks, finished second followed by Casanova Move, Sweet and Flawless, Don't Forget Gil, Be Fair, Wynning Ride and Funny Moon.

The time for the 129th Alabama was 2:03.24.

"When we first stepped up from sprinting to go a mile and a sixteenth," said Carroll, "we thought this filly would stretch out."

Careless Jewel was coming off a front-running victory in the Delaware Oaks in July at Delaware Park as a 10-1 longshot. Owned by Donver Stable, the filly picks up $360,000 with Saturday's win to bring her career earnings to $582,846. Based at Woodbine in Toronto, Careless Jewel has won four of five starts, all this year.

Careless Jewel returned $7.80, $4.60 and $3.60. Milwaukee Appeal paid $3.90 and $3.00, and Casanova Move paid $5.90 to show.

Proud Spell, eventual three-year-old filly champion, won the 2008 Alabama Stakes.

On Friday, TVG and its parent company Betfair, Ltd. pledged an additional $400,000 to The New York Racing Association (NYRA) to invite Preakness Stakes winner Rachel Alexandra and champion mare Zenyatta to participate in the Beldame Stakes at Belmont Park on Saturday, October 3. With the $400,000 title sponsorship by TVG-Betfair, NYRA will raise the purse of the Beldame Stakes to $1 million if both Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta run in the event.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
