07/26/2008 - Oceanport, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Probable favorite Big Brown posted a six- furlong workout at Aqueduct for next Sunday's Haskell Invitational. Big Brown was one of three Haskell invitees to workout Saturday morning around the country.
Big Brown, the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner, skipped over the Aqueduct strip in 1:10 4/5 for six-furlongs. The Haskell will be the colt's first race since his unexplained last place finish in the Belmont Stakes,
Training over the Monmouth Park track on Saturday was hard-luck colt Atoned. Trained by Todd Pletcher, Atoned worked a half-mile in :50 flat over the Jersey Shore strip. Madeline Sciametta, wife of Pletcher assistant trainer Anthony Sciametta, Jr., was aboard as Atoned galloped out five-furlongs in 1:01 3/5, and went six-furlongs in 1:16.
Atoned has finished second a total of seven times in 12 lifetime starts. He was the runner-up in his last two starts, the Spend A Buck and Long Branch Stakes both at Monmouth.
Pletcher will be trying for an unprecedented third straight Haskell victory with Atoned. Last year Pletcher saddled Any Given Saturday to victory and in 2006 Bluegrass Cat picked up the win.
At Churchill Downs, Nistle's Crunch, trained by Ken McPeek, covered five- furlongs in 1:00 3/5 over the main track.
The colt, bred by his owners Michael Harrison and Dr. Alan Furst, is coming off a second-place finish in the Colonial Turf Cup on June 21.
"His only bad race this year was the Florida Derby," Harrison said. "He was just too fast early that day and tired."

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship
(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.
One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
