08/01/2010 - Oceanport, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Preakness Stakes winner Lookin At Lucky got away from the field at the top of the stretch on his way to capturing Sunday's $1 million Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park.
Lookin At Lucky, ridden by Martin Garcia, was sent off as the 6-5 favorite in the seven-horse field. Kentucky Derby champ Super Saver was 6-1 for the 1 1/8- mile race.
Most of the trainers and jockeys considered this one of the toughest fields ever assembled for the Haskell. Several indicated that the winner of the race would be the leader of the 2010 three-year-old class.
Setting the pace in the Haskell was Preakness runner-up First Dude. Racing in second was 27-1 longshot Our Dark Knight with Super Saver running in third and Lookin At Lucky racing fourth.
Entering the far turn, Super Saver and Lookin At Lucky both made moves on the outside along with 5-2 second choice Trappe Shot. Coming into the stretch, Lookin At Lucky, who stumbled at the start, and Super Saver were on even terms.
Trained by Bob Baffert, Lookin At Lucky was on the outside of Super Saver at the head of the stretch when he easily went to the lead. With a furlong to run Lookin At Lucky assumed the lead and went on to post a four-length victory over Trappe Shot.
First Dude held on for third followed by Super Saver, Afleet Again, Ice Box and Our Dark Knight. The original eight-horse field was reduced by one Sunday morning with the scratch of Uptowncharlybrown, who spiked a fever just before getting on a van at Belmont Park.
The time for the 43rd Haskell was 1:49.83 on a fast track,
Lookin At Lucky, owned by Mike Pegram, Karl Watson and Paul Weitman, gave Baffert his fourth win in the Haskell and adds $600,000 of earnings. The 2009 champion two-year-old male has won eight of 11 career starts for more than $2.7 million.
It is expected that Lookin At Lucky will meet up with Jim Dandy Stakes winner A Little Warm at Saratoga in the Travers on Saturday, August 28.
Garcia guided the colt to victory in the middle jewel of the Triple Crown and is perfect in two rides aboard Lookin At Lucky.
"He knows the horse really well," Baffert said about Garcia.
Baffert previously won the Haskell with Roman Ruler (2005), War Emblem (2002), and Point Given (2001).
Lookin At Lucky paid $4.40, $3.00 and $2.40. Trappe Shot, who had won Monmouth's Long Branch Stakes, returned $3.40 and $2.60, and First Dude paid $3.00 to show.
Last year's Haskell was won by eventual Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra. In 2008, Kentucky Derby and Preakness champ Big Brown captured the race on his way to being voted that year's champion three-year-old colt.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.
MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.
Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.
Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.
After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.
Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.
Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.
If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.
Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
