11/11/2008 - Louisville, KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Veteran jockey Julien Leparoux won seven races Tuesday to equal Hall of Fame rider Pat Day's one-day riding record for Churchill Downs. The 25-year-old native of France won all but two of the races in which he had a mount.
Leparoux won the first six races on Churchill Downs' Tuesday card. He did not have a horse in the sixth race, but came back to win the seventh and eighth races. After failing to win the ninth race, Leparoux finished second in the final race aboard Sinister, a mount he picked up from Calvin Borel.
"I got a little lucky picking up the one mount for Calvin," said Leparoux, who took over for Borel on Troutdale in race three, because Borel's mother died Monday night and the rider took off his mounts. "I really wanted to win it for Calvin. This was just my lucky day."
Leparoux won the first five races on Diva's Gold ($6.40), Yikes ($7.80), Troutdale ($8.40), Gerivello ($10.40) and Variant ($11). He returned after the sixth race to win aboard Majestic Feline ($4.40) and Runaway West ($12).
In race nine Leparoux was eight of nine aboard Rocketinthegate. Race 10 saw the jockey finish in second with Sinister, 2 1/4 lengths behind Next Adventure.
Shaun Bridgmohan was winning jockey in races nine and 10.
Day's record has stood for more than 24 years when he won seven of the eight races on June 20, 1984.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship
(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.
One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
