Rapid Redux equals seasonal win mark
Horseracing Betting Lines
12/13/2011 - Laurel, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Thoroughbred record holder Rapid Redux led the entire way Tuesday and won his 19th race of the year and his 21st straight start. The five-year-old gelding captured Laurel Park's sixth race, a $17,000 starter allowance at 1 1/16-miles.
The victory by Rapid Redux tied the modern mark of 19 wins in a single year held by Citation and early 20th-century horse Roseben. Citation matched Roseben's record in 1948, the same year he won the Triple Crown.
"Citation is one of the all-time greats, just to be mentioned in the same sentence is unbelievable," Rapid Redux' owner Robert Cole said.
Rapid Redux, trained by David Wells, went off as the 3-10 favorite in the six-horse field. He quickly sprinted to the lead leaving the gate and set the pace immediately.
Jockey J. D. Acosta had a firm hold of the favorite and never allowed any of the five challengers to get within a length of the leader. Down the stretch 7-1 third choice Awesome Rhythm tried to catch Rapid Redux, but could not overtake him.
Rapid Redux finished a half-length in front of Awesome Rhythm and stopped the timer at 1:45.08 on a fast track. No Brakes, the 7-2 second pick, finished third followed by First Nite, Shamroge and Zosogood. Derwins Prospector was scratched.
Rapid Redux has earned $212,584 with his perfect record of 19 wins this year. With 27 victories in 41 career starts the five-year-old has banked $351,919.
Rapid Redux returned $2.60, $2.40 and $2.10. Awesome Rhythm paid $5.20 and $2.40, and No Brakes paid $2.10 to show.

Pro Football Odds : NFC SOUTH BETTING ODDS
NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.
Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.
Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.
The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
