Creative Cause heads San Vicente Stakes
Horseracing Betting Lines
02/16/2012 - Arcadia, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Creative Cause, third in last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile, heads a field of six in Sunday's $150,000 San Vicente Stakes for three-year-olds at Santa Anita Park. The seven-furlong sprint marks the 2012 debut for the gray colt.
Trained by Mike Harrington, Creative Cause will be ridden by Joel Rosario from post two. The colt is owned by Heinz Steinmann and is a son of top sire Giant's Causeway.
"It looks like he could be a little fresh coming off a layoff, but he's a great horse and I love to ride him," Rosario noted. "His Breeders' Cup race was a good one. I was impressed with it. Maybe he's the right horse for the Derby, who knows?"
Creative Cause is the winner of three of five career starts highlighted by victories in the Best Pal Stakes at Del Mar and the Norfolk at Santa Anita. He has banked $521,000.
Norfolk Stakes runner-up Drill will break from Creative Cause's immediate outside with Martin Garcia riding for trainer Bob Baffert. The colt is another Baffert-trainee owned by Karl Watson, Paul Weitmann and Mike Pegram. Baffert sent out The Factor to win last year's San Vicente.
Drill will be making his second start of the year, coming off a fifth-place result as the 8-5 favorite in last month's San Pedro at Santa Anita. After winning in his second career start, the colt captured the Del Mar Futurity.
The son of Lawyer Ron was 10th in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile and again failed as the favorite in the Delta Downs Jackpot two weeks later. In December he was a disappointing ninth in the CashCall Futurity at Hollywood Park.
Drill has the second most earnings behind Creative Cause in the race at $249,710 with eight career starts.
Here is the full field from the rail out: Let's Get Crackin, Victor Espinoza; Creative Cause, Joel Rosario; Drill, Martin Garcia; Smoking G, Corey Nakatani; American Act, Martin Pedroza and Captain Obvious, Mario Gutierrez.
Post-time for the San Vicente is set for 6:36 p.m. (et).

Super Bowl XLIV Odds
Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.
Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.
Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds
With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.
That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.
Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.
After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.
The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).
