12/30/2011 - Laurel, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Thoroughbred racing record holder Rapid Redux has been entered in another starter allowance next week to continue his racing career in 2012. The five-year-old will go after his 22nd straight victory on Wednesday, January 4 at Laurel Park.
"He is training well and coming into this race better than his last start," owner Robert Cole said. "He has been amazingly consistent and amazingly durable and has a tremendous mindset for winning. In training he does not let the horses go by him just like in a race. He truly knows the object of the game."
Rapid Redux, trained by David Wells, won a similar $17,000 race on December 13 for his 19th win in 2011, matching the modern mark for a single year held by Citation and early 20th-century horse Roseben. Citation equaled Roseben's record in 1948, the same year he won the Triple Crown.
"He cannot be treated like a normal horse and be running for a tag after he loses the condition," added Cole. "I found five starter allowance races east of the Mississippi that he is eligible to run in. It is conceivable to have one or two more starts (in starter allowance company) after this one because there are already races written in condition books that accommodate his date. Finding races for him the next couple months is not an issue but I don't see him ever running for a claiming price because I don't want anyone else to own him. He has done too much for us and that wouldn't be fair to him."
Wednesday's mile event has a field of 10 with Rapid Redux starting from post three with J. D. Acosta again set to ride. Post-time for the race is 2:56 p.m. (et).
Rapid Redux earned $212,584 with his perfect record of 19 wins in 2011. With 27 victories in 41 career starts the five-year-old has banked $351,919.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:
| Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame) Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma) Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State) Michael Bush (RB, Louisville) Steve Slaton (RB, West Virginia) Brian Brohm (QB, Louisville) Chris Leak (QB, Florida) Mike Hart (RB, Michigan) Ted Ginn (WR, Ohio State) Darius Walker (RB, Notre Dame) Drew Tate (QB, Iowa) Marshawn Lynch (RB, Cal) Kenny Irons (RB, Auburn) Chad Henne (QB, Michigan) Kyle Wright (QB, Miami) Drew Stanton (QB, Michigan State) Kenneth Darby (RB, Alabama) JaMarcus Russell (QB, LSU) Drew Weatherford (QB, Florida State) Blake Mitchell (QB, South Carolina) Reggie Ball (QB, Georgia Tech) |

As cup crazy fans prepare to place their bets, one online sportsbook ,MySportsbook.com, is offering hockey betting lines on the 2007/2007 Stanley Cup , who will bring it home this upcoming season.
Despite a poor showing in last season's playoffs and the loss of Steve Yzerman to retirement, the Detroit Red Wings are early favourites at this online sportsbook with wagering odds of 6-1. The Wings will look to offensive powerhouse Pavel Datsyuk and newly appointed captain Nicklas Lidstrom to lead one of the league's most prominent franchises.
Always a threat are the Ottawa Senators, with newly acquired goaltender Martin Gerber from the Stanley Cup champion ,Carolina Hurricanes. The Sens are second best in the rankings at a 7-1 bet, and odds makers at this sportsbook are optimistic that the Ottawa squad will fare better than last season's Eastern Conference semi-final upset to the Buffalo Sabres.
Also worth noting are the defending Stanley Cup champs Carolina Hurricanes, a 10-1 bet to repeat. Behind the Canes are the New Jersey Devils, Calgary Flames, Buffalo Sabres, Philadelphia Flyers, and Anaheim Mighty Ducks all sit at 12-1.
