03/13/2010 - New Orleans, LA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra, making her first start in six months, was defeated by Zardana in Saturday's $200,000 New Orleans Ladies at the Fair Grounds.
The 1 1/16-mile race had a field of five older females and was added to the Fair Grounds' stakes schedule earlier this year.
Owned by Jess Jackson and Hal McCormick, Rachel Alexandra broke from post two with Zardana in post three. Rachel was the 1-5 morning-line favorite and Zardana was the 5-1 second pick.
Setting the pace in the New Orleans Ladies was Fighter Wing with Rachel along side. The rest of the field was two or three lengths behind the two leaders.
Ridden by Calvin Borel, Rachel took the lead around the far turn as Zardana and jockey David Flores moved forward on the outside. Zardana and Rachel were together at the top of the stretch and the favorite appeared to have a short lead with a furlong to run.
Zardana took the lead with about 100 yards left, as Borel did not push Rachel to go past. Zardana registered a three-quarters length win over Rachel with Unforgotten finishing third followed by Fighter Wing and Clear Sailing.
The time for the New Orleans Ladies was 1:43.55 on a fast track.
Rachel Alexandra, trained by Steve Asmussen, is scheduled to face Zenyatta next month in the $5 million Apple Blossom Invitational at Oaklawn Park.
Zardana is trained by John Shirreffs who also trains Zenyatta. Owned by Arnold Zetcher, Zardana has won eight of 19 lifetime starts for $428,421.
She was coming off a fourth-place finish to St Trinians in the Santa Maria Handicap. Zardana concluded 2009 with a win in the Bayakoa Handicap in December at Hollywood Park.
Zardana paid $21.00, $3.20 and $2.60. Rachel Alexandra, who was undefeated in 2009, returned $2.10 and $2.10, and Unforgotten paid $3.20 to show.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
