Ladies' Classic champ Royal Delta sold

Horseracing Betting Lines

11/09/2011 - Lexington, KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Champion filly Royal Delta was sold Tuesday night at the Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale. The winner of last week's Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic went for $8.5 million to Benjamin Leon's Besilu Stables.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and she's the whole package," said Leon. "As I've said before, my passion is breeding. I can't think of a better mare to breed in the future than her. But I also can't think of a better filly to enjoy now on the track than her. So we're going to enjoy her at the track as long as she can do that, and then there will be the day that she will become a mom and begin to have babies, but no rush on that. We want to give her all the opportunity to do her thing."

The three-year-old filly was sold as part of the dispersal from Palides Investments N.V., Inc of the late Prince Saud bin Khaled.

"The timing couldn't have been more perfect (with winning the Breeders' Cup)," said Ron Wallace, president and general manager of Prince Saud's Chanteclair Farm. "She's a proven package. She'll probably have a better year next year. If you want a racehorse and a broodmare, she's got it all. She is a star."

Royal Delta won Friday's Ladies' Classic by 2 1/2-lengths to secure her position as the top three-year-old filly for 2011.

"It's always tough to lose one like her," Mott said Saturday morning. "We'd love to have her, but I guess that's up to whoever buys her. I'd love to have her back. She's been a really good one.

"She ran a tremendous race. The way she was training on this track (Churchill Downs), we expected a good performance from her."

This year Royal Delta won the Black-Eyed Susan and Alabama Stakes and was second to Havre de Grace in the Beldame. She earned $1,657,400 in seven starts with four wins.

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.
