11/08/2011 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Six important races leading to the 2012 Kentucky Derby will be broadcast by NBC Sports. Next year's Run for the Roses will shown by NBC on Saturday, May 6.
NBC Sports, which includes NBC, CNBC and the NBC Sports Group, will begin the series on March 24 with the Spiral Stakes, won this year by Animal Kingdom prior to taking the Kentucky Derby, from Turfway Park and continue the next week with the Florida Derby from Gulfstream Park. These two races will be shown on the NBC Sports Group, formerly VERSUS.
"Turfway Park has served as the final tuneup for a number of Kentucky Derby hopefuls," noted Bob Elliston, President and CEO, Turfway Park, "and as we all know, last year's winner of the Vinery Racing Spiral Stakes, Animal Kingdom, went on to win the Run for the Roses a few weeks later. Televising these races benefits not only the host tracks but the entire racing industry."
On April 7 the Wood Memorial at Aqueduct and the Santa Anita Derby at Santa Anita Park will both be televised on NBC.
"The Wood Memorial has a long, rich history as a key prep race for the Kentucky Derby and we are elated that a national television audience will be able to enjoy the 2012 edition on NBC," said Charles Hayward, President and CEO, NYRA.
The last two prep races to be shown on CNBC on April 14 will be the Blue Grass Stakes from Keeneland Race Course and the Arkansas Derby from Oaklawn Park.
"These races are important steppingstones to the Kentucky Derby," said Jon Miller, President, Programming, NBC Sports and NBC Sportsbook Betting Lines. "And this programming further demonstrates the NBC Sports Group's commitment to the sport of thoroughbred racing, which already includes long-term deals for the Triple Crown races as well as with Saratoga and Keeneland."

“You play to win the game!”
Those are the words of notoriously intense head coach Herman Edwards. Unfortunately, from a bettors’ perspective, most coaches don’t feel that way about the NFL preseason. August is a time to evaluate young players, finalize the depth chart and pray your star players stay healthy.
The trick to making money during the exhibition schedule is identifying coaches – like Edwards – who can’t stand losing even when there's nothing on the line.
The New York Jets betting won 15 of 21 preseason games and went 14-7 against the spread (ATS) during Edwards’s five-year tenure with the club. In his first season as the Kansas City Chiefs field boss, the team improved from 0-4 to 2-2.
Identifying win-a-holics like Edwards is a good start if you plan betting the preseason – even though most say you shouldn’t ... but what the hell do they know anyway?
Here’s a brief rundown of two teams that have a habit of winning during the second-stringers’ season, and another club that has a good chance of exceeding this year.
Playing in the media hub of North America can be stressful but the press can’t write anything negative about the way Tom Coughlin’s boys play in the preseason. The Giants won and covered all four games last summer, improving their record to 7-1 both straight up (SU) and against the spread over the last two years.
Coughlin has shown he’s not afraid to give his starters more time in the second preseason game than most of his colleagues, no doubt one of the reasons his team has been so dominant.
Bettors can count on America’s team early on. The Cowboys are 14-6 both SU and ATS since 2002 in warm-up contests. Former coach Bill Parcells, the coach of the team the last four years, has an intimidating, in-your-face presence – surely a reason Dallas has had so much early success.
The Big Tuna won’t be strolling the sidelines with looks of disgust, but new coach Wade Phillips will be anxious to make a good first impression for owner Jerry Jones.
Dallas plays the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos before things get serious. They then face the Houston Texans in their third contest (the game starters see most game time) and finish off with the Minnesota Vikings.
Expect a Dallas team able to walk away with another 3-1 preseason record.
This team scored a league-worst 12 offensive touchdowns last season, so the rookies and veterans each have something to prove. There’s a bounty of first-unit jobs up for grabs and plenty of bodies competing for those slots.
First-time head coach Lane Kiffin will be eager to impress an owner who employs the philosophy, “Just win, baby!”
The 32-year-old Kiffin has to command respect from a locker room full of players older than him. All of these factors should lead to purpose in preseason.
Don’t forget: before playing like a team that belonged in NFL Europe, Oakland went 4-1 (both SU and ATS) in exhibition games.
