Horseracing Betting Lines

03/28/2010 - Sunland Park, NM (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Endorsement, ridden by Robby Albarado, shook loose down the stretch to win Sunday's $800,000 Sunland Derby at Sunland Park. This year for the first time earnings from the race will count toward entry into the Kentucky Derby.

Sent off at odds of better than 11-1, Endorsement was only making his fourth career start and his first since breaking his maiden last month at Oaklawn Park. The chestnut colt is owned by WinStar Farm and trained by Shannon Ritter.

Endorsement was running second during the race behind pacesetter and 7-10 favorite Conveyance. The favorite, trained by Bob Baffert, had taken the lead right out of the gate and set the pace around the clubhouse turn and into the backstretch.

Running third in the nine-horse field was Tempted to Tapit with Nacho Friend racing fourth. The top four runners kept their positions into the far turn.

Midway through the final turn Endorsement drew even with Conveyance. Endorsement then took the lead coming out of the turn and entering the stretch. The lightly raced colt drew away from his rivals down the stretch and went on to post a three-length win over Conveyance.

Tempted to Tapit, the 9-2 third choice, finished third with 55-1 longhsot Fog Alert getting fourth. Completing the order of finish was 3-1 second pick Nacho Friend, Storming Saint, McKenna's Justice, Classical Slew and Guiltbyassociation

The time for the Sunland Derby was 1:48.46 on a fast track.

The victory was worth $480,000 in graded stakes money and brings Endorsement's lifetime earnings to $510,383. The winner's share should be enough to get the colt into the Run for the Roses.

Endorsement returned $25.40, $8.60 and $4.40. Conveyance paid $2.80 and $2.10, and Tempted To Tapit paid $3.00 to show.

The 2009 running of the former WinStar Derby was won by Kelly Leak. However, fourth-place finisher Mine That Bird went on to win the Kentucky Derby as a 50-1 longshot.

What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country.
