Rapid Redux goes for record tying win

Horseracing Betting Lines

12/08/2011 - Laurel, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Five-year-old thoroughbred Rapid Redux goes after one of the oldest records in horse racing this coming Tuesday. The Robert Cole-owned gelding will attempt for his 19th victory of the year.

Rapid Redux, trained by David Wells, has won 20 straight starts, including 18 this year. He will start in Tuesday's sixth race at Laurel Park, a $17,000 starter allowance.

The current record of 19 wins in a single year is held by Hall of Fame member Citation who accomplished the feat in 1948 when he swept the Triple Crown.

"Citation is one of the all-time greats, just to be mentioned in the same sentence is unbelievable," Cole said. "The Citation record has stood for more than 60 years so I would like to get a part of that and possibly break it before the end of the month. That record might be more impressive, not that the consecutive record isn't, because how a horse can win 19 races in one calendar year is like going to another galaxy on a space ship. It is beyond imagination."

For Tuesday's race the gelding will again have J.D. Acosta in the saddle and the pair will start from the rail post. The starter allowance will be contested at a distance of 1 1/16-miles with six challengers set to face Rapid Redux on Laurel's main track.

Cole's horse has earned $202,894 this year and $342,229 overall in a career with 26 wins in 40 starts.

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. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though.

Other teams that the MySportsbook.com members seem to believe will win it all include the west coasts’ top team #2 UCLA (6-1), #3 OSU behind man-child Greg Oden (8-1), and #4 Wisconsin (10-1) behind their defense which has given up 70+ points only three times all season.
