10/07/2008 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Defending Breeders' Cup Classic champion Curlin continues his preparations at Santa Anita for a second Classic victory. The reigning Horse of the Year has been stabled at the Los Angeles-area track since his record breaking win in the $750,000 Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont Park on September 27.
Last Thursday Curlin, under the care of assistant trainer Scott Blasi, galloped a mile on the Pro-Ride surface of Santa Anita.
"The most important thing is, he looks just like he has every day that we've trained him," Blasi noted Thursday morning. "He jogs off perfect and he's getting over the ground beautiful, so that's the most important thing."
Since the colt has never raced on a synthetic track, his connections need to see him work over Santa Anita's Pro-Ride surface to determine how comfortable he is prior to his entry into the Breeders' Cup Classic.
On Friday morning the two-time Eclipse Award winner galloped 1 1/8 miles at Santa Anita. Saturday Curlin went 1 1/2 miles over the track and Sunday, thoroughbred racing's first $10 million horse, galloped two-miles.
Monday morning was the big day for Curlin. He posted his first official workout over Santa Anita's Pro-Ride surface. The winner of this year's $6 million Dubai World Cup covered a half-mile in 52.80.
"He looked around quite a bit," said trainer Steve Asmussen who was in attendance. "It'll be interesting the next time he gets on the track. We just wanted to put his mind at ease and let him do all the acclimating. I don't think there was any decision to be made today. We're going to show Curlin the patience he deserves and we're going to do what we think is right."
The anticipated meeting in the Classic between Curlin and leading three-year- old Big Brown is the number one topic in racing circles. Big Brown remains at his home base of Aqueduct as he prepares for his start in the 1 1/4 mile Classic.
Big Brown, owned by IEAH Stables and trained by Rick Dutrow, Jr., has 40- points to lead all Classic division probables. Curlin gained automatic entry into the race with his win in the Jockey Club Gold Cup.

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.
