Ladies' Classic champ Royal Delta soldHorseracing Betting Lines11/09/2011 - 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.

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details. According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800). Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund. ''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.'' Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby. ''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.'' Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year. ”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?'' For complete odds on the Kentucky Derby, visit MySportsbook.com.
