2009 Belmont Stakes Horse Racing Betting

Borel aims for ‘Triple Crown’ on Mine That Bird 

It will be déjà vu for jockey Calvin Borel at the 141st running of the Belmont Stakes on Saturday. 

Borel could pick up a personal Triple Crown as he jumps back on Mine That Bird, the favorite to win the $1-million, 1.5-mile ‘Test of Champions’ in New York. 

Borel rode then-longshot Mine That Bird to victory at the Kentucky Derby, and then switched to the filly Rachel Alexandra for the Preakness Stakes, riding her to the winner’s circle. The filly was not entered in the Belmont Stakes.

World Baseball Classic Gambling Analysis

Mar 3rd, 2009 – betED.com Press Release – Dominican team favored to win WBC at betED.com

New York Yankees’ slugger Alex Rodriguez may be a bit of a fallen hero in Major League Baseball, but not in the Dominican Republic.

That’s because the Dominican team is listed as the favorite at betED.com to win the World Baseball Classic, thanks largely to A-Rod’s decision to play for the Dominican Republic instead of the U.S. team.

View from the Couch – Baseball Season

The View from the Couch – by Gavin McDougald!

Mar 3rd, 2009 – As the Groin Pulls

It’s one of the annual traditions of spring training. Writers may wax poetic on the green grass, the bluer than blue skies and the endless possibilities each team may have for the upcoming season– but what baseball in March is really all about are hip-adductors, namely the adductor longus, adductor brevis, adductor magnus, gracilis, and pectineusmuscles tearing, as out of shape ball players try to run from here to there.

The One-Man Stimulus Package

There is a lone African American out there who all are turning to. The ship has gone terribly off course – especially over the past few months – and only he apparently can set it straight.

It wasn’t long ago where everyone was prospering, the banks were lined up, flush with cash to contribute their bit to the cause. Now most are all but insolvent, corporations are falling left and right and things appear to be almost hopeless.

Feb 18th, 2009 – As the Cars Turn

Is there any other sport that better encapsulates the times we are in than stock car racing?

Just look at this past weekend’s signature event.

Labeled the “Great American Race,” Sunday’s Daytona 500 wasn’t great, and could hardly be called a race. But one thing it was for sure, it was American.

The angst, the outrage, the fan uprising, the media frenzy.

What about you? Shocked? Feeling letdown? Is baseball over for you?

Well, get over yourself. Everyone should have known years ago had we only been paying attention.
