Horseracing Betting Lines
11/05/2011 - Louisville. KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former Belmont Stakes winner Drosselmeyer came flying down the stretch to capture the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic to conclude the 28th World Championships at Churchill Downs. Winning jockey Mike Smith notched his second Classic win in the last three editions.
The 12-horse field featured Uncle Mo, Stay Thirsty, Havre de Grace, Flat Out and this year's Belmont Stakes champ Ruler On Ice.
Game On Dude set the pace in the 1 1/8-mile Classic with Uncle Mo on his shoulder and European horse So You Think running in third. Havre de Grace was racing close to the pace and Flat Out, the 7-2 favorite, running near the back.
Around the final turn and into the stretch Uncle Mo, Game On Dude and So You Think were across the track. Flat Out began to move on the outside and Havre de Grace was also driving.
Smith got his mount clear for the drive to the wire. The four-year-old Drosselmeyer, 14-1 on the tote board, powered down the middle of the stretch and posted a one-length victory over Game On Dude with Ruler On Ice third. Havre de Grace, the lone female in the Classic and the 4-1 second choice, finished fourth and Flat Out was fifth.
The time for the race was 2:04.27.
Trained by Bill Mott, Drosselmeyer is owned by WinStar Farm. The chestnut colt picked up his fifth career win in 16 starts and it was worth $2.7 million. Second to Flat Out in the Jockey Club Gold Cup, Drosselmeyer has career winnings of more than $3.7 million.
Smith won the 2009 Classic with Zenyatta and the pair finished second last year. Smith ties Jerry Bailey with 15 Breeders' Cup career wins after a win earlier in the day for his 14th.
Drosselmeyer returned $31.60, $13.20 and $8.80. Game On Dude, also 14-1, paid $13.60 and $9.20, and 17-1 longshot Ruler On Ice paid $9.80 to show.
