06/05/2010 - Louisville, KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Reigning Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra has been given the highweight for the Fleur de Lis Handicap on Saturday, June 12 at Churchill Downs. The filly was also assigned weight for the Stephen Foster Handicap to be run the same day at Churchill Downs.
Earlier in the week co-owner Jess Jackson announced that the four-year-old will start in one of four races on June 12. Along with the Stephen Foster and Fleur de Lis, Rachel is also nominated to the Ogden Phipps Handicap at Belmont Park and the Obeah at Delaware Park.
For the Fleur de Lis, Rachel is assigned highweight of 124 pounds and is weighted at 118 pounds for the Stephen Foster. Both races are 1 1/8-miles with the Fleur de Lis for fillies and mares and the Foster an open handicap.
Rachel is also the highweight for the Ogden Phipps. The champion filly will carry 123 pounds if she starts in the 1 1/16-mile race for fillies and mares. The two horses who have defeated Rachel this year are also nominated to the Belmont Park event.
Unrivaled Belle, who won the La Troienne at Churchill Downs on April 30, is assigned 119 pounds and Zardana, winner of the New Orleans Ladies Classic in March, gets 117 pounds.
No weight assignments are available for the Obeah.
Met Mile winner Quality Road is the Stephen Foster highweight at 127 pounds. Since he and Rail Trip (122 pounds) are not expected to start, there are three probable starters who have all been assigned 120 pounds: Arson Squad, Blame and General Quarters.

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.
Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.
The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East.
