05/05/2008 - Baltimore, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The overpowering performance by Big Brown in Saturday's 134th Kentucky Derby has apparently scared away all but one his Run for the Roses rivals from the upcoming Preakness Stakes.
Illinois Derby champ Recapturetheglory is the only Derby finisher that might come back to challenge Big Brown on May 17. Trained by co-owner Louie Roussel, Recapturetheglory finished fifth to Big Brown at Churchill Downs. Roussel said that a final decision could be made Monday or Tuesday.
"We are getting in the car and either driving eight to 10 hours to Baltimore or New Orleans," said Roussel. Roussel and partner Ronnie Lamarque sent out Risen Star in 1988 to win the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes.
Among the other possible starters for the Preakness are Lexington Stakes winner Behindatthebar, El Gato Malo who was the defeated favorite in the Santa Anita Derby, Count Fleet Stakes champ Giant Moon, Harlem Rocker winner of the Withers Stakes, Blue Grass Stakes third place finisher Kentucky Bear, Stevil who was fourth in the Blue Grass, Arkansas Derby third place finisher Tres Borrachos and California Derby champ Yankee Bravo.
Big Brown will train at Churchill Downs for the Preakness and is expected to arrive at Pimlico Race Course on Wednesday, May 14. The colt can become the seventh Kentucky Derby winner in the last 12 years to capture the middle jewel of racing's Triple Crown.
"I like our chances because we have the best horse," said trainer Rick Dutrow, Jr. "I am going to see a bunch of friends but I am going there with a horse that can win the race."
Dutrow is a Maryland native whose father Dickie Dutrow was one of the leading trainers in Maryland in the 1970's. The elder Dutrow captured four training titles at Pimlico during that decade.

It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.
We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.
Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.
Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.
Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.
NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.
The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
