Easy win for Mucho Macho Man in return

Horseracing Betting Lines

11/09/2011 - Ozone Park, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former Triple Crown contender Mucho Macho Man made a successful return to the races Wednesday at Aqueduct. The three- year-old was making his first start since the Belmont Stakes.

Starting in an optional/allowance race for trainer Kathy Ritvo, the colt quickly took the lead out of the gate and set the pace the entire way in the mile event. Ridden by Ramon Dominguez, Mucho Macho Man covered the distance in 1:34.72 on a fast track after getting very little pressure.

Mucho Macho Man finished 5 3/4-lengths to the good over Gallant Fields followed by Praetereo, Southern Ride, More Than a Reason and an eased Silent Money.

Mucho Macho Man returned $4.90, $3.10 and $2.60. Gallant Fields paid $4.90 and $3.50, Praetereo paid $3.50 to show.

"After the Belmont, we wanted to give him time off," said Dean Reeves, whose Reeves Thoroughbred Partnership owns the colt with Dream Team One Racing Stable. "The Triple Crown was a tough campaign and we knew we wanted to give him two-three months off.

"Most trainers told me if you take two months off it takes two months to get back, so about in mid-August he started back training (in Saratoga) with jogs, gallops up to his breezes. He developed a little soreness so we backed off, then brought him to Belmont. Then he started breezing and we began to dial in on a race; he went a strong five-furlongs and began building a foundation, and then six- and seven-furlong works."

The win in the $55,000 race was worth $33,000 to bring Mucho Macho Man's career bankroll to $643,643. As a two-year-old he was second in both the Nashua and Remsen Stakes to put him in the 2011 Kentucky Derby discussion.

This year the colt began with a fourth in the Holy Bull Stakes as the 2-1 favorite. He followed by winning the Risen Star and finished a close third as the 3-2 favorite in the Louisiana Derby.

Mucho Macho Man was 9-1 in the Run for the Roses where he finished third followed by a sixth in the Preakness and a well beaten seventh in the Belmont Stakes.

Big East Conference odds

Work left to do: Villanova, Syracuse, DePaul, West Virginia, Providence

Notre Dame and Louisville appear to have done enough to make the move, so we'll make them locks. The Cardinals, despite a modest RPI, are trending way up and have clinched at least a tie for third in the Big East, which should be more than enough with their pair of big road wins. Villanova got back to .500 and gets back to more solid footing. Syracuse got a very important road win and crippled a fellow contender in the process. West Virginia's fate could be in its hands Tuesday at Pitt.

Work left to do:

Villanova [18-9 (7-7), RPI: 21, SOS: 5] Pounded Rutgers to get back to .500. If Cats can get their last two (at UConn, vs. Syracuse), that should be enough with strong computer numbers and a host of wins away from The Pavilion. The Cats have beaten Texas and swept the Big 5 (never easy in Philly), but have a couple of losses to bubble teams (Xavier, Drexel), too. I still think they'll be OK, possibly even at 8-8.

Syracuse [20-8 (9-5), RPI: 53, SOS: 62] History says 10 wins will be plenty, but it might be hard for the Orange to get that last one with a final two vs. G'town, which is trying to win the league title, and at Villanova, which will be desperate for a W. The relative lack of nonconference heft and the weak computer numbers are still concerns, but the Orange have won four in a row and got a very, very big win at Providence on Saturday.

DePaul [16-12 (8-7), RPI: 54, SOS: 18] Beat Cincy and should get past South Florida to get to 9-7, but then what? They have beaten Kansas and Cal (right after the DeVon Hardin injury) earlier this season, but also have lost to Bradley and Purdue, among others. They'll likely need a couple of BE tourney wins, too, but we'll see ...

West Virginia [19-7 (8-6), RPI: 58, SOS: 125] The game at Pitt on Tuesday night could decide the Mountaineers' fate (barring a deep tournament run). They can still get to 9-7 in the Big East without it by beating Cincinnati, but the nine wins would be against UConn, Villanova, St. John's, South Florida, DePaul, Rutgers, Seton Hall twice and the Bearcats. Beating bubble foes is fine, but where's the beef? Outside of beating PG-less UCLA in nonconference play (still a top quality win), there's not a lot to fall back on (besides maybe NC State). WVU vs. Syracuse would be an interesting debate, as the teams don't play in the Big East regular season. WVU has the best win, but Cuse has played the much better schedule.

Providence [17-10 (7-7), RPI: 70, SOS: 33] The Friars likely saw their at-large hopes die at home in the four-point loss to Syracuse, barring an unexpected run to the Big East semis or more. The RPI, bad already, won't be helped by playing St. John's and South Florida in the final two league games.
