Conveyance faces eight in Sunland Derby

Horseracing Betting Lines

03/24/2010 - Sunland Park, NM (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Southwest Stakes winner Conveyance tops a field of nine for 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.

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

Owned by Zabeel Racing and trained by Bob Baffert, Conveyance earned $150,000 with the Southwest win and has career earnings of $254,400. The three-year-old has drawn post three with Martin Garcia coming in to ride.

The gray colt also captured the San Rafael Stakes in January at Santa Anita. Conveyance is undefeated in his four lifetime starts.

Storming Saint, who won Sunland's $100,000 Borderland Derby through disqualification, is the top local horse in the race. The chestnut colt will start from the inside post with Luis Contreras riding.

"Storming Saint is a really talented horse, but a bit of a troublemaker," trainer Henry Dominguez said after the Borderland Derby. "He's a really good colt."

Owned by Lathrop Hoffman, Storming Saint was third in the Riley Allison Futurity last December at Sunland, and is the winner of two of five career starts for $91,770.

Here is the complete field for the Sunland Derby in post position order: Storming Saint, Luis Contreras; Nacho Friend, Joe Bravo; Conveyance, Martin Garcia; McKenna's Justice, Ken Tohill; Endorsement, Robby Albarado; Classical Slew, Tyler Baze; Fog Alert, Alfredo Juarez, Jr; Guiltbyassociation, Isaias Enriquez and Tempted to Tapit, David Cohen.

All horses will carry 122 pounds.

Post-time for the Sunland Derby is scheduled for 7:45 p.m. (et).

Football Betting Lines

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.

Bet NFL Sports Lines

Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.

Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.

A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.

Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.

Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.

Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.

And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
