Owner setting 2012 plans for Havre de Grace

Horseracing Betting Lines

11/10/2011 - Stanton, DE (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Four-year-old filly Havre de Grace will recuperate from this year's Breeders' Cup Classic and then begin training for another racing season in 2012. The top vote getter in the final NTRA Poll is back home from Churchill Downs for her owner Rick Porter and trainer Larry Jones.

"I feel Havre de Grace did her very best under the circumstances of the race track and being pinned in by the eleven horse," Porter commented on rockportharbor.com. "She didn't fire when Ramon got her out at about the 3/8ths pole like she usually does but Ramon told me yesterday (Tuesday) on the phone that he felt she just didn't handle the track like she usually does. Many people thought the track was very strange on both Friday and Saturday. Ramon did say she started picking it up down the lane and finished well."

Havre de Grace had one those rare campaigns in 2011 that few racehorses ever have. She won multiple stakes versus all competition and traveled where the top rivals were based. Her fourth-place showing in the 1 1/4-mile Classic didn't tarnish her luster.

"I am very proud of the year she had and extremely proud of the way Larry handled her," Porter remarked. "He just was terrific and shows how good a horseman he is and what a great trainer he is."

Porter and Jones look ahead to next year for Havre de Grace. With a chance to being named 2011 Horse of the Year and Older Filly and Mare, the horse can once again make history in 2012.

"We have a big year planned for 2012 and just hope she stays sound and keeps her great disposition," said Porter. "Thank you Havre de Grace for all the great times in 2011 and hold your head high after Saturday's Breeder's Cup."

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
