Ruler On Ice targets Donn Handicap
Horseracing Betting Lines
01/27/2012 - Hallandale Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Breeders' Cup Classic third-place finisher Ruler On Ice is on target to begin his 2012 racing campaign in next month's 1 1/8-mile Donn Handicap at Gulfstream Park. The four-year-old has been training at nearby Palm Meadows Training Center.
"He loves it at Palm Meadows," noted Kelly Breen who trains the 2011 Belmont Stakes champ. "You won't see a work on him this weekend, probably just a two- minute lick, and then a final workout on Super Bowl morning. We're looking for a good transition from his three to four-year-old (season)."
Owned by Lori and George Hall, the gelding proved to be one of the top three- year-olds last year. Along with his Belmont Stakes win and Classic finish, Ruler On Ice was third in the Sunland Derby, second in the Federico Tesio, third in the Haskell, fourth in the Travers and runner-up in the Pennsylvania Derby.
He wrapped up his 2011 season with an unfortunate fifth in the Clark Handicap at Churchill Downs.
"He came out of his last race with a little lung infection that took awhile to clean out, but he's doing great now," said Breen Thursday afternoon. "When he was down here in Florida last winter he just wasn't right, but he couldn't be doing any better now."
Ruler On Ice has banked more than $1.6 million for the Halls with three wins and equal numbers of second and thirds in 12 career starts.
Giant Oak won last year's Donn Handicap after winning the Clark Handicap.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
