Nobiz Like Shobiz and jockey Javier Castellano was third on the turn for home, but had nothing down the stretch.

Trained by Dan Hendricks, Daytona won by a half-length over Medici Code followed by Bold Hawk and Twilight Meteor in the 10 horse field. The time was 1:59.75 on a firm turf course.

Completing the order of finish was Mostacolli Mort, Ten a Penny, Worldly, Nobiz Like Shobiz, Warning Zone and Augment

Daytona picks up $300,000 with Sunday's victory to bring his career earnings to $461,390. In his first year of racing he has won four of 10 starts. His first three races were in Great Britain.

Daytona returned $13.20, $7.40 and $5.40. Medici Code paid $11.40 and $7.00, and Bold Hawk paid $4.00 to show.

Earlier in the $500,000 Matriarch Stakes. Precious Kitten gave trainer Bobby Frankel his fourth straight win in the race and Frankel's eighth Matriarch victory in the last 11 runnings.

Under jockey Rafael Bejarano, Precious Kitten stalked the leader Live Lite up the backstretch with 6-5 favorite Wait a While in third. Precious Kitten took over the lead coming off the final turn as Wait a While and rider Garrett Gomez began their move.

Precious Kitten prevailed by 1 1/4 lengths over Todd Pletcher's Wait a While with Lady of Venice finishing third. Rounding out the finish was Live Life, Dance Away Capote and Naissance Royale.

The time for the mile was 1:33.63 on the firm turf course.

Owned by Kenneth and Sarah Ramsey, Precious Kitten has won seven of 19 career starts. The Matriarch win was worth $300,000 to bring her lifetime earnings to more than $1.4 million.

Precious Kitten won both the Palomar and John C. Mabee Handicaps this summer at Del Mar to go with her victory in the Gallorette at Pimlico in May. She was coming off a sixth place finish in the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf behind Lahudood.

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.
