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.

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.
