Teuflesberg posts upset victory in Southwest Stakes

Horseracing Betting Lines

02/20/2007 - Hot Springs, AR (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Five weeks after finishing a distant third to Hard Spun at the Fair Grounds, 23-1 longshot Teuflesberg registered a major upset on Presidents' Day over the Kentucky Derby hopeful. Teuflesberg went wire to wire to win the $250,000 Southwest Stakes at Oaklawn Park.

Hard Spun was sent off as the 1-2 odds-on favorite in the nine horse field. The colt brought an undefeated record into the one mile race. He just had to overcome the outside post.

Teuflesberg bobbled a bit coming out of the starting gate, but quickly took the lead on his way to 1 1/2 length triumph. Jockey Stewart Elliott notched his second win in the Southwest Stakes. Three years ago he rode Smarty Jones to victory on his way to claiming the Run for the Roses.

Hard Spun has been compared to Smarty Jones. Both were bred in Pennsylvania and won the Pennsylvania Nursery at Philadelphia Park. On Monday Hard Spun, with Mario Pino riding, left the gate in good shape and settled about six lengths off the pace.

Pino asked the favorite for more heading into the far turn while racing on the outside. Hard Spun got to second coming off the turn for home, but began to falter down the stretch.

Finishing second was 12-1 longshot Officer Rocket with Forty Grams third. Hard Spun faded to fourth followed by Xchanger, Going Ballistic, Starbase, Our Sacred Honor and I Got a Dream.

The time for the Southwest Stakes was 1:38.20 on a fast track.

Teuflesberg is trained by co-owner Jamie Sanders, and adds $150,000 to his bankroll. The three-year-old has won four of 13 career starts for more than $317,000. This was his win of 2007 and his second career stakes triumph.

Teuflesberg returned $48.80, $20.00 and $10.80. Officer Rocket paid $9.80 and $5.40, and Forty Grams paid $6.40 for show.

The next important race for three-year-olds at Oaklawn Park is the Rebel Stakes on Saturday, March 17. The $1 million Arkansas Derby is Saturday, April 14.

American Idol Betting Odds: Season 6  

The online gambling websites are in the process of deciphering each American Idol contestant and his or her chances of winning Season 6 to come up with the early American Idol betting lines.

Tim Dalton of MySportsbook.com has been locked away in a soundproof room coming up with all the latest tallies, we are told. "American Idol has become one of the most significant betting events of the year," claims Jack Black of MySportsbook.com.  "Last year, millions were bet during the season across the globe, not just in America.

It's tough early on since we really do not have a glimpse as to how well each of these individuals will perform solo on a week-to-week basis.  It's like Week 1 of the NFL.  Pre-season means nada!

We do know the 24 finalists however.

Sanjaya Malakar is the young man whose sister failed to make it into the Top 24.  He's very low key but - unless he totally flubs - will probably win over the young girlie vote for a few weeks anyway.  He's too young to go all the way, according to Payton O'Brien. 

Brandon Rogers - Who?

Phil Stacy is the military guy who missed his daughter's birth because of the Memphis audition.  He should go a good distance.

Chris Sligh - He's got the humor and in many ways he's the Anti-American Idol much like last year's winner Taylor Hicks was.  And this is why he'll probably get pretty far in this competition.  He's chubby, white with a big curly afro....but more importantly, a great voice!  People love "real", not "real cute" to go all the way. 

"Blake Lewis should go far because of his uniqueness and looks.  He's the boy next store with a twist - he beat boxes.  But on top of this, he's a great singer, and I adore him," Payton O'Brien relayed.

A talented beat-boxer Blake Lewis was a hit during the group sing in Hollywood but Simon explained that this is a singing contest just before he told him he was “in.”

Paul Kim has caught our own roving reporter, Jenny Woo's eyes. 

"I love the fact that there is a Korean American on the show and he is bound to get more Asians tuning into the show," Woo said from her Miami Beach estate.  "There has never been a major presence of Asian-Americans on American Idol in the past.  He's a hottie with a nice voice so that should help to take him far.  Expect heavy betting action from the Asian community."

Sundance Head - He's not perfect, but he's got the personality that will take him through a few weeks, plus he's got the lineage (son of Roy Head - whose 1965 single, "Treat Her Right," hit No. 5 in the charts) 

And the others:

Rudy Cardinas
AJ Tabaldo - the 5th time is the charm
Nicolas Pedro
Chris Richardson
Jared Cotter

The girls

"Melinda Doolittle has one of the best voices," says MySportsbook.com Reporter and an acclaimed dancer in her own right, Destiney Lewis.  "It is great to see a back up singer step out like she has.  The girl needs to gain more confidence but that can also be a positive.  I think she will go far."

Alena Alexander - Those tears (she never seems to stop bawling) should get her far.

"Single mom Lakisha Jones I suspect will be a pretty big favorite entering Week 1 of the competition," says Destiny Williams.  Jones is an excellent singer and down to earth.  "She'll have a wide appeal," echoed O'Brien.

Nicole Trellis - Seems to exert confidence.

Amy Krebs - a powerful singer.

Antonella Barba
Gina Glocksen
Hailey Scanardo
Jordan Sparks
Stephanie Edwards
Leslie Hunt
Sabrina Sloan
