Judge Joe captures Yonkers Trot
Horseracing Betting Lines
08/29/2009 - Yonkers, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Odds-on favorite Judge Joe coasted to victory Saturday night in the $670,774 Yonkers Trot, the second leg of trotting's Triple Crown. Driven by Ron Pierce, Judge Joe trotted the mile in 1:56 1/5.
Missing from the Yonkers Trot was Hambletonian winner Muscle Hill. The leading three-year-old trotter won the American-National Stakes Saturday night at Balmoral Park outside Chicago.
Sent off as the 7-10 favorite in the eight horse field, Judge Joe took the lead shortly after the start on the half-mile track. He lost the lead briefly to Select Yankee on the backstretch, until that trotter broke stride.
Judge Joe retook the lead shortly before the first half-mile was completed and never relinquished it again. Pierce drove his three-year-old to a three-length win over Neighsay Hanover with Calchips Brute finishing third.
Rounding out the order of finish was Citation Lindy, Broadway Bistro, Select Yankee, Truth In Action and Celebrity Athena.
Judge Joe, who was recently sold to Atlantic Trot, Inc., adds $335,387 to his career earnings which now stand at $839,242. The colt has won 14 of 22 lifetime starts and this year has won seven of 10 races for $528,667.
Saturday's win was Pierce's second in the event to go along with the 1993 victory with American Winner.
Judge Joe has won four consecutive races on half-mile tracks and was coming off a victory in one of last week's elimination heats. He was seventh to Muscle Hill earlier this month in the Hambletonian.
Judge Joe paid $3.40, $2.40 and $2.10. Neighsay Hanover returned $4.20 and $3.30, and Calchips Brute paid $3.20 to show.
The final leg of the Triple Crown will be the Kentucky Futurity at The Red Mile on Saturday, October 3.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.
Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.
El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.
MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds.
Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.
New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.
Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
