Award of Merit goes to Cot Campbell
Horseracing Betting Lines
01/03/2012 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cot Campbell, president of Dogwood Stable, will be presented with the Eclipse Award of Merit for a lifetime of outstanding achievement in thoroughbred racing. Eclipse Awards are voted on by the National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA), Daily Racing Form and the National Turf Writers and Broadcasters.
"This Award of Merit is a blockbuster for me," said Campbell. "I am surprised, delighted, and very appreciative that it comes my way. It is the highlight of a career that has been exhilarating, to put it mildly."
The 84-year-old Campbell, of Aiken, SC, will pick up the honor at the 41st annual Eclipse Awards on Monday, January 16 in Beverly Hills, CA.
"Very few people are pioneers and trendsetters in their line of business," said trainer Todd Pletcher. "Cot Campbell has been just that with the racing partnership concept -- not only introducing it, but doing it at the highest level and with class all the way."
Pletcher, a five-time Eclipse Award winner, has trained stakes winners for Campbell since 1996.
Campbell is credited with beginning the idea of syndicated racehorse ownership. He founded Dogwood Stable in 1973 and won the 1990 Preakness Stakes and Pennsylvania Derby with Summer Squall. The stable was honored with the 1987 Eclipse Award for champion steeplechase horse Inlander. In 1996, Storm Song, a daughter of Summer Squall, won the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies and was voted champion two-year-old filly.
Campbell announced in November he was going into "semi-retirement," and while he will not form new partnerships in 2012, he will continue existing partnerships.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009
Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.
MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.
Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.
Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.
After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.
Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.
Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.
If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.
Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
