Acclamation captures Clement L. Hirsch Turf

Horseracing Betting Lines

10/02/2011 - Arcadia, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Pacific Classic winner Acclamation made a successful return to the grass with a win in Sunday's $150,000 Clement L. Hirsch Turf Stakes. It was his fifth straight win and fourth consecutive on turf.

Trained by Don Warren, Acclamation went off as the 2-5 favorite in the seven- horse field and did not disappoint. With Patrick Valenzuela again in the saddle, the five-year-old covered the 1 1/4-miles in 1:59.45 on a firm Santa Anita turf course.

Acclamation has now won his last three starts at 1 1/4-miles, including his last two overall. Owned by Bud Johnston, the veteran runner is eligible to start in either the Breeders' Cup Classic or Turf next month at Churchill Downs.

"They're both up in the air. It could be the Turf or the Classic," Warren said about next month's Breeders' Cup races. "Weather's going to play a part in it, because we like the firm turf. We think we would have a big shot on firm turf. We don't think the Europeans are all that great, unless it's soft. Then they have a big advantage when it's yielding or soft. I would prefer the Breeders' Turf. If it rains, then we might go Classic. We could go either way depending on the weather."

In the Hirsch, the favorite stalked pacesetter Make Music for Me before taking the lead coming into the stretch. Acclamation dug in down the stretch and was able to hold off a driving Champ Pegasus for a three-quarter length win.

Imponente Purse finished third followed by Ashtar, Dynamic Host, Make Music for Me and Buenos Dias.

Acclamation adds $90,000 to his bankroll which now stands at more than $2.4 million. The five-year-old has won nine of 28 career starts, including five of seven in 2011.

Acclamation returned $2.80, $2.20 and $2.10. Champ Pegasus paid $2.80 and $2.10, and Imponente Purse paid $2.20 to show.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super Bowl

NFL Super Bowl Betting

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.

Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.

The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East.
