11/30/2008 - East Rutherford, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The top two contenders for Harness Horse of the Year, Somebeachsomewhere and Deweycheatumnhowe, had completely opposite results in Saturday's Breeders Crown races at The Meadowlands. Somebeachsomewhere captured the $500,000 three-year-old colt pace while Deweycheatumnhowe failed down the stretch in the $500,000 three-year-old colt trot.
Somebeachsomewhere, sent off the as 1-5 favorite in the 10 horse field, posted a two-length victory over 4-1 second choice Shadow Play with Blueridge Western finishing third. Driven by Paul MacDonnell, the favorite covered the mile in 1:48 3/5 and passed Gallo Blue Chip's $2.4 million, set in 2000, for the richest season for a pacer in history. Somebeachsomewhere won 14 of 15 starts this year for $2.45 million.
"He trained super," trainer Brent MacGrath said. "We're looking forward to his new career, too. I think he will be a tremendous sire. I think he'll be as strong in the breeding shed as he was on the racetrack."
Somebeachsomewhere closes his record setting career with earnings of more than $3.2 million while winning all but one of his 21 lifetime starts.
Somebeachsomewhere returned $2.40, $2.10 and $2.10. Shadow Play, winner of the Little Brown Jug, paid $2.80 and $2.20, and Blueridge Western paid $5.00 to show.
Earlier, leading trotter Deweycheatumnhowe suffered just his third career defeat in the Breeders Crown event. In Focus, driven by Dave Palone, passed the 4-5 favorite down the stretch and went on to win by 4 1/4 lengths.
Trained by Jimmy Takter, In Focus was joined by stablemate Holiday Credit in relegating Deweycheatumnhowe to third in the 11 horse field. In Focus trotted the mile in 1:53 4/5.
In Focus posted his 14th win in 25 lifetime starts and has earnings of better than $660,000.
"He's a little funny about his head and stuff but when Ray was on the front end going pretty stiff fractions, I was pretty happy," said Palone, who picked up his first Crown win. "When Ray spoke to Dewey in the final turn, I could tell he wasn't really himself tonight, which worked out great for us."
Driven by trainer and co-owner Ray Schnittker, Deweycheatumnhowe had health problems that nearly kept him out of the Breeders Crown.
"We originally thought it was something like an abscessed tooth," said Schnittker, "but it wasn't an abscess or anything normal. It turned out to be something really strange. Of course it couldn't be something that vets see a lot of. At Cornell they said they saw one like his maybe once every two or three years, and the vet at The Meadowlands said he had never seen anything like it."
"Dewey" closes out his career with 23 wins in 25 starts and earnings of $3,155,178.
In Focus paid $33.00, $14.40 and $5.40. Holiday Credit returned $10.40 and $5.20, Deweycheatumnhowe paid $2.10 to show.
The other winners Saturday in the Breeders Crown races were Honorable Miss in the $700,000 two-year-old filly trot, Fox Valley Topaz in the two-year-old filly pace, Kadealia in the $500,000 three-year-old filly trot, Muscle Hill in the $700,000 two-year-old colt trot, Well Said in the $700,000 two-year-old colt pace and A And G'sconfusion in the $610,000 three-year-old filly pace.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds
Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.
Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.
"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."
Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.
Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.
But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.
Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
Here are the football odds as seen at MySportsbook.com and subject to change after February 10, 2007 if not locked in prior to that date.
