10/07/2007 - Lexington, KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Panty Raid, ridden by Garrett Gomez, outlasted 2-1 favorite Lady Joanne to win Sunday's $500,000 Juddmonte Spinster Stakes at Keeneland. The victory, part of the "Win and You're In" program, guarantees Panty Raid a spot in the Breeders' Cup Distaff at Monmouth Park on October 27.
Lady Joanne, with Calvin Borel in the saddle, set the pace up the backstretch in the 1 1/8 mile race for fillies and mares. Sugar Shake was pressing the pace from the inside with Altesse and Rolling Sea alternating in third and fourth.
Entering the far turn Sugar Shake took a short lead over Lady Joanne, but the favorite quickly drew along aside Rafael Bejarano's mount. Lady Joanne had the lead coming off the final turn as Panty Raid advanced on the outside.
Panty Raid and Lady Joanne were even at the top of the stretch with the favorite sticking her nose in front with a furlong to run. Panty Raid took the lead with less than a 100 yards to run and held on for a half-length victory.
Teammate finished third in the 11 horse field followed by Sugar Shake, Asi Siempre, Altesse, Rolling Sea, Naissance Royale, High Heels, Promenade Girl and Solo Survivor.
The time for the Juddmonte Spinster Stakes was 1:51.30 on the all-weather track.
Panty Raid is owned by Glencrest Farm and trained by Todd Pletcher. The three- year-old filly was coming off a loss in the Alabama Stakes to Lady Joanne at Saratoga as the favorite.
Sunday's win was worth $300,000 to bring Panty Raid's career earnings to more than $1 million. She has won five of eight lifetime starts, taking four of seven this year.
Also this year Panty Raid won the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes at Pimlico and the American Oaks on the turf at Hollywood Park.
Panty Raid returned $8.20, $4.40 and $3.40. Lady Joanne paid $3.60 and $2.80, and Teammate paid $6.80 to show.

The most popular sports to bet on are NFL and college football along with NBA and NCAA basketball. There are multiple betting opportunities within those sports, beginning with the basic wager on a game’s outcome (also called betting the side). College Football Point spreads are used in both football and basketball in an attempt to even the attractiveness of each team in a match-up. ( See our article detailing how and why point spreads are made)
But you could also simply bet on the money line, or straight-up winner of the game. Oddsmakers use the money line so that more money must be risked on the favorite or expected winner and less money on the underdog to balance the action on both sides. While money line gambling is an attractive option for football and basketball bettors who only care about picking a winner, it is the primary option for those bettors who enjoy wagering on MLB baseball and individual sports like boxing, tennis, golf and racing events such as NASCAR. ( More details on playing the Money Line)
Another bet across all major team sports including football, basketball, baseball, and hockey involves wagering on the amount of scoring in a game, called an Over/Under total. For example, the Over/Under total on Super Bowl XXXIX was 48, which means a bettor could wager whether there would be more or less than 48 points scored by both teams combined in the game.
The final score of Super Bowl XXXIX was 24-21; the scoring of both teams added up to 45, which means the game went Under . So Under bettors won, and Over bettors lost.
Sports gambling doesn’t end there. Betting sides and totals are the most common wagers available everywhere, but many sportsbooks also offer future bets on big upcoming events like who will win next year’s Super Bowl and what movie will win Best Picture at the Academy Awards.
The main advantage of futures is that you can get appealing odds by betting far in advance. For example, with NFL futures you often can get much higher odds on a team by betting before the season even starts. A NFL future bet on a team to win the Super Bowl odds might be 20/1 in the preseason; but by midseason, their odds might decrease to 10/1 if they turn out to be legitimate championship contenders.
Involves one individual wager, whether it be on your team to cover the point spread, to win the game straight-up on the money line, or to go over/under the total.
