11/09/2011 - Ozone Park, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former Triple Crown contender Mucho Macho Man made a successful return to the races Wednesday at Aqueduct. The three- year-old was making his first start since the Belmont Stakes.
Starting in an optional/allowance race for trainer Kathy Ritvo, the colt quickly took the lead out of the gate and set the pace the entire way in the mile event. Ridden by Ramon Dominguez, Mucho Macho Man covered the distance in 1:34.72 on a fast track after getting very little pressure.
Mucho Macho Man finished 5 3/4-lengths to the good over Gallant Fields followed by Praetereo, Southern Ride, More Than a Reason and an eased Silent Money.
Mucho Macho Man returned $4.90, $3.10 and $2.60. Gallant Fields paid $4.90 and $3.50, Praetereo paid $3.50 to show.
"After the Belmont, we wanted to give him time off," said Dean Reeves, whose Reeves Thoroughbred Partnership owns the colt with Dream Team One Racing Stable. "The Triple Crown was a tough campaign and we knew we wanted to give him two-three months off.
"Most trainers told me if you take two months off it takes two months to get back, so about in mid-August he started back training (in Saratoga) with jogs, gallops up to his breezes. He developed a little soreness so we backed off, then brought him to Belmont. Then he started breezing and we began to dial in on a race; he went a strong five-furlongs and began building a foundation, and then six- and seven-furlong works."
The win in the $55,000 race was worth $33,000 to bring Mucho Macho Man's career bankroll to $643,643. As a two-year-old he was second in both the Nashua and Remsen Stakes to put him in the 2011 Kentucky Derby discussion.
This year the colt began with a fourth in the Holy Bull Stakes as the 2-1 favorite. He followed by winning the Risen Star and finished a close third as the 3-2 favorite in the Louisiana Derby.
Mucho Macho Man was 9-1 in the Run for the Roses where he finished third followed by a sixth in the Preakness and a well beaten seventh in the Belmont Stakes.

In terms of sports wagering, the NFL is "the most popular game in town." The explanation behind that is easy.
It is called the "pointspread."
Many years ago, NFL games, as well as the more popular college games, used straight odds as a vehicle for betting. For example, if the Bears were playing the Giants, and it shaped up as a competitive contest, the Bears might be, say, a 7/5 favorite. If they were playing an also-ran, it might be 10/1. Well, there is a point where a line becomes prohibitive, as far as betting the favorite. And who would waste money betting an underdog that has virtually no chance? Such a setup did not contribute to promoting betting action.
But in modern sports betting, a "pointspread" is used.
A NFL pointspreads are exactly that, a pre-established point difference between the two sides that will, for all intents and purposes, create a handicap that evens things out, and in doing so, produces comparable wagering activity on both sides of that proposition. So in lieu of a odds figure in which to bet the team to win outright, the Bears might be a three-point favorite over the New York Giants, and a 17-point favorite over the also-ran. Now that the team that is the underdog can "get" points, there can be equal action on both sides.
In sportsbooks, this is usually done with efficiency by charging the losing bettors 10% extra - in effect, bettors are laying 11/10 on those games. So they are actually betting $110 to win $100. If they lose, they pay the "vig." If they win, they simply collect.
The establishment of the pointspread as the corner stone around which team sports like football can be wagered upon was truly what brought gridiron betting into the stratosphere for online football betting .
