A Little Warm knocked out of Preakness

Horseracing Betting Lines

05/10/2010 - Baltimore, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Louisiana Derby runner-up A Little Warm has been taken out of consideration for Saturday's Preakness Stakes. The three- year-old colt suffered bleeding during a workout Monday at Delaware Park.

"He worked fine, but he just didn't scope out good," according to Spring Hill Farm manager Chris Baker from the farm in Virginia. "We're going to have to withdraw him from consideration from the Preakness. We just have to get him well, and hopefully he'll be able to get back to racing in 30 days or so."

Owned by Edward P. Evans, A Little Warm worked five-furlongs in 1:01 2/5 for trainer Anthony Dutrow before being scoped.

A Little Warm has won two of seven career starts for $284,280. In January he won the Spectacular Bid Stakes at Gulfstream Park and followed with a second- place finish to D'Funnybone in the Hutcheson Stakes. He did not have enough graded stakes earnings to start in the Kentucky Derby.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
