Holy Bull Stakes awaits Hansen

Horseracing Betting Lines

01/09/2012 - Hallandale Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner Hansen will make his 2012 debut in the Holy Bull Stakes at Gulfstream Park on January 29. The three-year-old colt is owned by Dr. Kendall Hansen and trained by Mike Maker.

"This horse has been such a dream," Dr. Hansen said about the Eclipse Award finalist. "Right now, all I can think about is January 29 and the Holy Bull Stakes. I've never been to Gulfstream Park before and we have a group of about 20 or 30 people set to make the trip."

The Holy Bull comes 13 days after the 2011 Eclipse Awards are announced in Beverly Hills.

"In my mind, we've already won," said Dr. Hansen. "We're going to be involved in the six-month discussion leading up to the Kentucky Derby. Because the horse will be getting all of this recognition, I feel we've already won.

"I can understand the conflict voters have with Union Rags (Juvenile runner- up) getting a wide trip, but I think all you can do is settle it on the racetrack. That's what races are run for. We had our share of disadvantages too. If speed and the rail were good that day, we might have won by five lengths."

The other finalist for the Eclipse Award as champion two-year-old male is Creative Cause who was third in the Juvenile. The colt had won the Norfolk Stakes at Santa Anita along with the Best Pal at Del Mar.

Hansen defeated 11-10 favorite Union Rags by a head after setting most of the pace in the 1 1/16-mile race. Creative Cause was another length back as the 5-1 second choice.

Last year Dialed In won the Holy Bull on his way to capturing the Florida Derby. The colt would go off as the 5-1 favorite in the 2011 Kentucky Derby, but finish eighth.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super Bowl

NFL Super Bowl Betting

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.

Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.

The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East.
