Wise Dan claims Clark Handicap at Churchill Downs
Horseracing Betting Lines
11/25/2011 - Louisville, KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Wise Dan, ridden by John Velazquez, drew away in late stretch to capture Friday's $500,000 Clark Handicap at Churchill Downs. The four-year-old gelding covered the 1 1/8-miles in 1:48.95 on a fast track.
Trained by Charles Lopresti, Wise Dan went off as the 9-2 co-second choice along with Belmont Stakes winner Ruler On Ice. Flat Out, winner of the Jockey Club Gold Cup, was the 2-1 favorite in the 13-horse field.
Setting the pace under the Twin Spires was 21-1 longshot Will's Wildcat. Mission Impazible was racing second and Wise Dan was third. On the final turn Mission Impazible, the 7-1 fourth pick, and Wise Dan put away the leader and opened space from the rest of the field.
Mission Impazible was on the inside with Wise Dan on his outside. The two veteran horses battled down the stretch until Velazquez nudged his mount to the lead.
Coming off a win in the Fayette Stakes at Keeneland last month, Wise Dan posted a 3 3/4-length victory over Mission Impazible with Flat Out getting up for third.
Longshot Mister Marti Gras finished fourth followed by Ruler On Ice, Headache, Alma d'Oro, Will's Wildcat, Prayer for Relief, Stately Victor, Demarcation, Pleasant Prince and General Quarters.
Owned by Morton Fink, Wise Dan adds $326,554 to his bankroll. In 14 career starts the gelding has eight wins for $919,601. Velazquez got the mount because Julien Leparoux was at Hollywood Park on Friday.
"He's a good strong rider," Lopresti said of Velazquez. "I know when I called him, it didn't take two minutes to tell me he would come to ride him. It's a compliment when a guy like Velazquez comes in to ride him. I know he's watched his races and he knows him."
The Clark is Wise Dan's first stakes win over a conventional dirt track.
Last year Fink and Lopresti's Successful Dan finished first in the Clark, but was disqualified to third.
Wise Dan returned $11.00, $6.00 and $4.20. Mission Impazible paid $7.00 and $5.40, and Flat Out paid $3.20 to show.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds
With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season. What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season. Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all. Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13). Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two. Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury. Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven. Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury. Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.
In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons. Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4. Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1). The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this. No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
Just because it is the All-Star break doesn’t mean that you can’t bet on NBA hoops this weekend. Be sure to log onto MySportsbook.com to bet on who you think will cut down the nets this July.
