10/08/2008 - Louisville, KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Officials of Churchill Downs and Breeders' Cup Ltd. announced Wednesday morning that the home of the Kentucky Derby will host the World Thoroughbred Championships in 2010. This will be the seventh time Churchill Downs will be the site of the Breeders' Cup.
"We are delighted to be returning the Breeders' Cup to Churchill Downs and to our great supporters in Kentucky and throughout the region," said Breeders' Cup Chairman William S. Farish, Jr. "Churchill Downs has proven to be an outstanding Breeders' Cup venue and is extremely popular with our horsemen and fans from around the world. Churchill will also provide an extraordinary site for our expanded two-day program of the Championships."
The two-day event will be held at Churchill Downs on Friday, November 5 and Saturday, November 6 of 2010. This year's World Thoroughbred Championships, at Santa Anita, has a total of 14 races. All five events for female horses will be on Friday, October 24 with the remaining nine races conducted the following day.
The historic racetrack last played host in 2006 when Invasor won the Breeders' Cup Classic to secure Horse of the Year honors. This year's Breeders' Cup races will be the first of two straight at Santa Anita Park.
Churchill Downs first held the Breeders' Cup in 1988 and then played host in 1991, 1994, 1998, 2000 and 2006. In 2000 Tiznow won the first of his two consecutive Classic victories, the only horse to do so.
Among those in attendance from the Breeders' Cup were President and Chief Executive Officer Greg Avioli. Churchill Downs officials who participated were Churchill Downs Incorporated (CDI) President and CEO Robert Evans along with Steve Sexton, CDI executive vice president and president of Churchill Downs racetrack.
"We appreciate the efforts and enthusiasm displayed by Bob Evans and his management team in our agreement to bring the Breeders' Cup back to Churchill Downs," Farish noted, "and continue an ongoing partnership that has been of great benefit to the Breeders' Cup, Churchill Downs and the racing and breeding industry."

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect
LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.
Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.
Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
