08/04/2010 - East Rutherford, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Champion colt Lucky Chucky will start from post two in Saturday's 85th running of the $1.5 million Hambletonian at The Meadowlands. The one-mile trot is harness racing's premier event.
The Hambletonian is the second leg of trotting's Triple Crown and will have a field of 10 three-year-old trotters. Lucky Chucky, Cassis and Pilgrims Taj each won an elimination race last week.
Lucky Chucky, trained by Chuck Sylvester, is the 5-2 morning-line favorite and will be driven by Hall of Fame member John Campbell. Campbell has won the Hambletonian six previous times, most recently in 2006 with Triple Crown champ Glidemaster.
Co-owned by Sylvester, Lucky Chucky was voted the Dan Patch Award as 2009 champion two-year-old trotting male. Last year he won nine of 12 starts for $667,649. In three starts this year Lucky Chucky has one win and a second for $73,972.
"I like our chances," Sylvester indicated. "He's the first serious contender I've had in a few years."
Sylvester has won the Hambletonian four times -- one shy of the training record shared by Bill Haughton, Stanley Dancer and Ben White. Sylvester and Campbell teamed to win the 1998 Hambletonian with Muscles Yankee and the 1987 edition with Mack Lobell. Sylvester's other victories came with Chip Chip Hooray in 2002 and Park Avenue Joe (in a dead heat with Probe) in 1989.
The first leg of the Triple Crown, the Yonkers Trot, was won by On The Tab.
The final leg is the Kentucky Futurity, which will be held on October 16 at The Red Mile. There have been nine Triple Crown winning trotters, the last being Glidemaster in 2006.
Here is the full field for the Hambletonian in post position order: Cassis, Tim Tetrick, 7-2; Lucky Chucky, John Campbell, 5-2; Pilgrims Taj, Mike Lachance, 9-2; Mystery Photo, Andy Miller, 10-1; Wishing Stone, George Brennan, 12-1; Muscle Massive, Ron Pierce, 8-1; On The Tab, Daniel Dube, 15-1; Hard Livin, Yannick Gingras, 15-1; Temple Of Doom, David Miller, 15-1 and Holiday Road, Brian Sears, 6-1.
The Hambletonian will be televised on NBC and has a scheduled post-time of 3:43 p.m. (et).

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
