02/15/2012 -
Hallandale Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Champion colt Animal Kingdom will
begin his four-year-old campaign on Saturday at Gulfstream Park. The Team
Valor thoroughbred had been expected to start in a stakes race next week.
Trainer Graham Motion, who has been working the 2011 Kentucky Derby winner at
Palm Meadows, has the horse in a 1 1/16-mile allowance race on the turf.
"I'm very excited to get him back, and now that we've entered him I'm
extremely anxious," Motion said. "I have been pleasantly surprised how quickly
he's come around. I think he got a good base in him at Fair Hill before he
came down here. Once he got down here we've gotten some serious works on the
grass."
The colt was originally set to start in the Tampa Bay Stakes on the turf at
Tampa Bay Downs on February 25.
Saturday's allowance race will be Animal Kingdom's first start since suffering
a hairline fracture during the running of the Belmont Stakes. Prior to that he
was second in the Preakness Stakes in addition to taking the Run for the
Roses.
The four-year-old will break from the outside post in the six-horse field with
his regular jockey John Velazquez in the saddle. Following this start Animal
Kingdom will next race in the $10 million Dubai World Cup on March 31.
The race is carded as the fifth race on Saturday with a post-time of 2:30 p.m.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
