Lava Man to bypass Breeders' Cup

Horseracing Betting Lines

10/08/2007 - Arcadia, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Trainer Doug O'Neill has announced that Santa Anita Handicap and Hollywood Gold Cup winner Lava Man will not compete in any Breeders' Cup race this year. The six-year-old was last in Sunday's Oak Tree Mile here on the turf.

Lava Man, owned by STD Racing and Jason Wood, will start next in the $250,000 California Cup Classic on Saturday, November 3. The gelding has lost his last two starts.

"He came out of the race (Oak Tree Mile) in great shape, and California Cup, here we come," O'Neill said. "He's such a cool horse that if he never wins again or never hits the board again, he'll retire as the best horse I've ever laid my hands on, that's for sure. But as of now, he'll definitely stay in town."

Lava Man, only the second horse to win three straight Hollywood Gold Cups, has earned more than $5.2 million in 42 career starts with 17 victories. This year he has won three of seven races for $1.4 million.

In 2006 Lava Man swept the three big handicap races in Southern California, Santa Anita Handicap, Hollywood Gold Cup and Pacific Classic. In last year's Breeders' Cup Classic he finished a disappointing seventh behind Invasor.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
