Horseracing Betting Lines

06/23/2010 - Arcadia, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The annual Oak Tree at Santa Anita racing meet has been confirmed for this year. The announcement came at Tuesday's meeting of the California Horse Racing Board (CHRB).

The announcement put an end to speculation over the future of the Oak Tree meet. Santa Anita's parent company, Magna International Development (MID), voided the lease in May, which was originally scheduled to be good through 2016.

MID Chairman Frank Stronach agreed to a special one-year lease contract with Oak Tree that will allow the non-profit organization to operate this fall as originally scheduled.

"Mr. Stronach has generously changed his mind and allowed us to stay for another year," said Oak Tree Director and Executive Vice President Sherwood Chillingworth. "I think it's (new one-year lease) good for the industry and for all of us."

Opening day for the 2010 Oak Tree program will be Wednesday, September 29.

The Oak Tree at Santa Anita racing meet hosted the last two Breeders' Cup World Championships and also played host to the event in 1986, 1993 and 2003.

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds  
As of February 9, MySportsbook.com has released its coveted 2007 Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament betting odds. “March Madness betting ” only a month away, the top ranked Florida Gators are favorite at 7-2 to win it all. The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though.
