03/08/2010 - New Orleans, LA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rachel Alexandra, 2009 Horse of the Year, is set make her 2010 debut this Saturday at the Fair Grounds in the $200,000 New Orleans Ladies. The 1 1/16-mile test has attracted four females to take on the four-year-old filly.
Owned by Jess Jackson and Hal McCormick, Rachel Alexandra has drawn post two with Calvin Borel once again in the saddle. The filly is trained by Eclipse Award winning trainer Steve Asmussen.
"It was just an easy half," Asmussen said about Monday's final workout before Saturday. "It's hard to compare her to anybody else so we just gave her an easy half and let him get along with her and it looked like she went beautiful. She's a beautiful mover. That's how she runs and that's what makes her special. She went over the racetrack very well, it was in great shape this morning. That's all we could hope for. She got the breeze in, did very well, looked good."
Rachel went undefeated in 2009 in eight starts with earnings of better than $2.7 million. Following wins in the Martha Washington, Fair Grounds Oaks and Fantasy Stakes, she won the Kentucky Oaks by more than 20-lengths.
The filly then went on to victories in the Preakness, Mother Goose, Haskell Invitational and Woodward.
Rachel Alexandra will follow her start Saturday with an ultimate showdown versus Zenyatta. The two female thoroughbreds are to finally meet at Oaklawn Park in the $5 million Apple Blossom Invitational on Friday, April 9.
Zenyatta is based at Hollywood Park where she has been working out. Owned by Jerry and Ann Moss, Zenyatta will start in the $250,000 Santa Margarita Invitational on Saturday.
Zenyatta's trainer John Shirreffs will bring Bayakoa Handicap winner Zardana to the Fair Grounds for the race from California. The six-year-old mare will be ridden by David Flores from post three.
Zardana is the winner of seven of 18 lifetime starts for owner Arnold Zetcher. For her career she has earnings of $308,421 and is coming off a fourth-place finish to St Trinians in the Santa Maria Handicap.
Here is the complete field for the New Orleans Ladies in post position order: Fighter Wing, Corey Lanerie, 117; Rachel Alexandra, Calvin Borel, 123; Zardana, David Flores, 121; Unforgotten, Miguel Mena, 117 and Clear Sailing, Shane Sellers, 117.
The New Orleans Ladies has an approximate post-time of 6:15 p.m. (et).

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
