Oak Tree at Santa Anita set for 2010

Horseracing Betting Lines

06/23/2010 - Arcadia, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The annual Oak Tree at Santa Anita racing meet has been confirmed for this year. The announcement came at Tuesday's meeting of the California Horse Racing Board (CHRB).

The announcement put an end to speculation over the future of the Oak Tree meet. Santa Anita's parent company, Magna International Development (MID), voided the lease in May, which was originally scheduled to be good through 2016.

MID Chairman Frank Stronach agreed to a special one-year lease contract with Oak Tree that will allow the non-profit organization to operate this fall as originally scheduled.

"Mr. Stronach has generously changed his mind and allowed us to stay for another year," said Oak Tree Director and Executive Vice President Sherwood Chillingworth. "I think it's (new one-year lease) good for the industry and for all of us."

Opening day for the 2010 Oak Tree program will be Wednesday, September 29.

The Oak Tree at Santa Anita racing meet hosted the last two Breeders' Cup World Championships and also played host to the event in 1986, 1993 and 2003.

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.
