Horseracing Betting Lines
02/18/2012 - Berkeley, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Daddy Nose Best got his nose on the wire first to capture Saturday's $200,000 El Camino Real Derby at Golden Gate Fields. The 1 1/8-mile El Camino Real is the final local prep on the road to the Kentucky Derby.
Trained by Steve Asmussen, Daddy Nose Best was ridden by Julien Leparoux from the inside post. The colt went off as the 4-1 third pick in the 10-horse field.
Up the backstretch Daddy Nose Best was racing fifth just a few lengths behind pacesetters All Squared Away and 2-1 favorite Handsome Mike. Cal Derby winner Russian Greek was at the rear of the field.
Daddy Nose Best gained ground around the final turn, but was blocked briefly at the quarter-pole. Lucky Chappy, the 5-2 second choice, went from racing last into contention with a five wide move around the turn.
The two colts battled down the stretch and hit the wire together. The photo determined that Daddy Nose Best had indeed put his nose out first to win the race.
Handsome Mike was third followed by Unveiled Heat, Russian Greek, Lady of Fifty, All Squared Away, Rockinarz Recruit, Senor Rain and Cahill Chrome.
Owned by Cathy and Bob Zollars, Daddy Nose Best covered the El Camino Real in 1:50.46 on the Golden Gate synthetic track.
The win by Daddy Nose Best is the second straight for his trainer in the race. Asmussen sent out Silver Medallion to win the 2011 El Camino Real. The win was worth $120,000 to bring Daddy Nose Best's career earnings to $233,623 in nine starts.
The three-year-old was third last year in the Summer Stakes at Woodbine and sixth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Churchill Downs. In late November he won an allowance race at Churchill and was fifth in the Eddie Logan Stakes at Santa Anita on New Year's Eve.
Daddy Nose Best paid $10.20, $5.40 and $3.60. Lucky Chappy returned $4.60 and $2.80, and Handsome Mike paid $2.80 to show.

FOOTBALL BETTING : Cassel Signs Contract
Kansas City, MO - Kansas City has not officially named Matt Cassel its starting quarterback, but there can be no doubt now.
NFL Betting
After praising his leadership and work ethic through spring workouts, the Chiefs announced Tuesday they had signed the 27-year-old Cassel to a multiyear contract. Terms were not disclosed, but he will almost certainly be one of the highest-paid members of the team.
"We are excited to be able to reach a long-term agreement for Matt Cassel to be a Kansas City Chief for many years to come," owner and board chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. "His proven leadership on and off the field will be a tremendous asset to the organization."
Patriots made him their franchise player, meaning his salary for this season will be about $15 million.
New head coach Todd Haley, taking over for Herm Edwards after a 2-14 season, refused to name a starter at any position during offseason workouts. But it was obvious to everyone the team belonged to Cassel.
"I go out there each and every day with that focus that I'm the starter," Cassel said during a June minicamp. "Competition brings out the best in everybody."
The signing will come as welcome news to Cassel's new coaches and teammates. Amiable and hardworking, online football betting he appeared to win over everyone at minicamp.
"I think he's got some unique leadership qualities. I think his teammates like him and have respect for him. I think he's doing a pretty good job on the field, too," Haley said last month. "He's doing everything that I'm asking him, that our coaches are asking him to do. I don't have one single complaint how he's carrying himself."
After one workout, wide receiver Devard Darling declared Cassel "a breath of fresh air."
"He has a lot of swagger, a lot of confidence. It's good for us," said Darling. "We trust in him that he's going to go out there and lead us all the way."
nse to accommodate his specific abilities.
Trapped on the bench behind Heisman winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC and then unable to unseat Super Bowl MVP Brady at New England, Cassel seemed destined to be a backup all his life. As Brady was helped off the field last September, Cassel seized the opportunity he'd been waiting for since high school.
In his only sustained action since his teens, he hit 349 of 555 passes for 3,949 yards at New England. He had 23 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions as the Patriots, who had gone unbeaten through the regular season the year before, finished 11-5 and out of the playoffs.
Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, who had been Bill Belichick's assistant in New England, engineered the trade after the Patriots became convinced that Brady would recover fully from his knee operation.
"Since Matt arrived in Kansas City, he has embraced the team and the community," Pioli said. "His work ethic, his ability and competitive presence is what we expect from our players."
