The son of Afleet Alex covered the 1 3/4-miles on a fast track in 3:00.39.

Afleet Again went off as the longest shot in the 11-horse field at 41-1. Breaking from post eight the gray four-year-old trailed for most of the race, running in ninth about a dozen lengths from the lead.

At the top of the stretch a gaggle of horses were on the lead as Afleet Again began to move on the outside. Trained by Butch Reid, the colt opened up down the stretch and posted a two-length victory over Birdrun.

Finishing third was Giant Oak and Pleasant Prince was fourth.

Afleet Again is owned by Robert and Susan Krangel, and picks up $270,000 with the win. The colt notched his first win of the year and his fourth in 24 career starts. He has lifetime earnings of $686,470.

Afleet Again returned $85.20, $35.80 and $13.80. Birdrun paid $7.20 and $5.80, and Giant Oak paid $6.80 to show.

Attendance for Breeders' Cup Championship Friday decreased by two percent from last year's first day at Churchill Downs. Friday's attendance was 40,677 compared to 41,614 last year. The on-track handle was $7,765,183, a four percent decrease over the $8,109,443 bet on-track in 2010.

The common-pool handle for the 10 races was $50,053,505, a 5.6 percent decrease from the $53,010,625 wagered on last year's Friday card. For the six Breeders' Cup races handle this year was $42,490,444 vs. $45,393,976 for a 6.4 percent decrease. Breeders' Cup officials noted that $2,195,465 was refunded because of two late scratches.

Stanley Cup betting

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.

The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.

MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.

Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
