Breeders' Cup to use standard colored saddle cloths

Horseracing Betting Lines

08/11/2009 - Lexington, KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - It will become a lot easier for fans to follow the horses during the running of the Breeders' Cup World Championships beginning this year. The organization announced Tuesday that the standard colored saddle cloth or towel system has been installed for the 2009 races.

Until this year purple colored saddle cloths were used for the first 25 editions of the Breeders' Cup. The decision to use the standard colored system was made after consulting with the group's Fan Advisory Council and with horseplayers across North America.

"The colored saddle towel system will allow fans at Santa Anita Park and at simulcast locations around the globe to more easily follow the horses in the Breeders' Cup races," said Breeders' Cup President and CEO Greg Avioli. "We appreciate the input from so many passionate horseplayers on this topic, and believe the new saddle towels will provide a more fan friendly experience for our customers betting on the Championships."

The 14 main colors to be used from the rail out are red, white, blue, yellow, green, black, orange, pink, light blue, purple, gray, lime green, brown and rust.

Santa Anita Park will host the $25.5 million Breeders' Cup for the second year in a row. The 14 races will run on Friday, November 6 and Saturday, November 7.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
