New Orleans, LA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A large field of 13 three-year-olds has
been entered for Saturday's $175,000 Lecomte Stakes at Fair Grounds Race
Course. The mile and 70 yard event is the track's first stakes leading to the
$1 million Louisiana Derby on April 1.
Zayat Stables has entered two horses in the stakes. Dan and Sheila, trained by
Todd Pletcher, and Z Dager, conditioned by Steve Asmussen, will go off as a
coupled entry. The two three-year-olds will start next to each other with Dan
and Sheila breaking from post five with John Velazquez riding and Z Dager
being ridden by Shane Sellers from the six hole.
Dan and Sheila won first time out on December 17 at Gulfstream Park. The
Lecomte is just his second career start. Z Dager has already won at the mile
and 70 yard distance, breaking his maiden two days before his stablemate at
Fair Grounds.
The other coupled entry is Adena's Chance and Hero of Order, both owned and
trained by Gennadi Dorochenko. Adena's Chance has drawn the inside post with
Marlon St. Julien in the saddle and Iram Diego will ride Hero of Order from
post 10.
The two colts are well experienced having 12 and nine starts, respectively.
Adena's Chance has two wins, a maiden victory at Arlington Park last September
and a claiming race win in October at Hawthorne. Hero of Order found the
winner's circle for the first time earlier this month at Fair Grounds.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.

Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
