Injury scratches Hurricane Ike from Preakness

Horseracing Betting Lines

05/12/2010 - Baltimore, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Hurricane Ike, winner of last month's Derby Trial, has been withdrawn from the Preakness Stakes with a leg injury. Trainer John Sadler made the announcement Wednesday morning.

"My horse isn't so fine. It's something that came up this morning. I got a call telling me that he was off behind," said Sadler from Hollywood Park.

Assistant trainer Larry Benevidez, who has been overseeing the colt training at Churchill Downs, informed Sadler of the unspecified injury to Hurricane Ike's left hind leg.

"This is pretty fresh, but it looks similar to the problem he had at Oak Tree," said Sadler, referring to a condition last fall at Santa Anita Park that delayed the colt's three-year-old season. "He might have re-injured himself in the same area.

"This is extremely disappointing. It's disappointing, but what can you do? Sometimes they don't cooperate. Hopefully, we'll get him into some big races later this year."

Owned by Ike and Dawn Thrash, Hurricane Ike was second earlier this year in the Bay Shore Stakes to Eightyfiveinafifty at Aqueduct. He has won two of eight career starts for $249,732.

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.
