07/17/2010 - Stanton, DE (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Odds-on favorite Life At Ten took the lead shortly after the start and proceeded to dominate in winning Saturday's $750,000 Delaware Handicap at Delaware Park.
The victory in the 1 1/4-mile race automatically puts Life At Ten into this year's Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic at Churchill Downs in November.
Trained by Todd Pletcher, the five-year-old mare notched her sixth straight win and her fifth consecutive stakes victory. Pletcher also added a fourth Del 'Cap win to his resume.
Ridden by John Velazquez, Life At Ten was sent off as the 3-5 favorite in the six-horse field. She was coming off a victory in the Ogden Phipps Handicap at Belmont Park on June 12.
Perfect in four starts this year, Life At Ten was never seriously challenged as she covered the 1 1/4-miles in 2:03.21 on a fast track.
Finishing second, three-lengths back, was Miss Singhsix, who won the Obeah Handicap at Delaware Park last month. She was followed by Funny Moon, Milwaukee Appeal, Miss Match and Million Seller.
"On paper it looked like she was closing the speed, but you never know," and Pletcher. "She was fortunate to get an easy first quarter and half and she really had a lot left in the stretch, We will probably look at the Personal Ensign at Saratoga next and go from there.
"It is just special to win the Delaware Handicap because it is such an important race for fillies and mares. We have always looked at the Del 'Cap as a great opportunity. It has a great tradition and great purse and we have been fortunate enough to win the race four times."
Owned by Candy DeBartolo, Life At Ten captured the Rare Treat Stakes at Aqueduct in February and followed with a win of the Sixty Sails at Hawthorne in April.
As a four-year-old, Life At Ten closed 2009 with consecutive wins in an allowance race and the Snit Stakes. She has won seven of 14 career starts for $909,267, including $450,000 from the Del 'Cap win.
Previously, Pletcher won the Del 'Cap with Irving's Baby (2001), Fleet Indian (2006) and Unbridled Belle (2007). He joins Hall of Fame member Henry Clark as the only trainers to win the event four times.
Life At Ten returned $3.20, $2.40 and $2.10. Miss Singhsix paid $3.20 and $2.40, and Funny Moon paid $2.20 to show.
Earlier on the card, John Velazquez rode Treat Gently to victory in the $200,000 Robert G. Memorial. The Del 'Cap is the second for Velazquez. In 2002, he rode Summer Colony for the win.

Kansas City, MO - Kansas City has not officially named Matt Cassel its starting quarterback, but there can be no doubt now.
NFL Betting
After praising his leadership and work ethic through spring workouts, the Chiefs announced Tuesday they had signed the 27-year-old Cassel to a multiyear contract. Terms were not disclosed, but he will almost certainly be one of the highest-paid members of the team.
"We are excited to be able to reach a long-term agreement for Matt Cassel to be a Kansas City Chief for many years to come," owner and board chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. "His proven leadership on and off the field will be a tremendous asset to the organization."
Patriots made him their franchise player, meaning his salary for this season will be about $15 million.
New head coach Todd Haley, taking over for Herm Edwards after a 2-14 season, refused to name a starter at any position during offseason workouts. But it was obvious to everyone the team belonged to Cassel.
"I go out there each and every day with that focus that I'm the starter," Cassel said during a June minicamp. "Competition brings out the best in everybody."
The signing will come as welcome news to Cassel's new coaches and teammates. Amiable and hardworking, online football betting he appeared to win over everyone at minicamp.
"I think he's got some unique leadership qualities. I think his teammates like him and have respect for him. I think he's doing a pretty good job on the field, too," Haley said last month. "He's doing everything that I'm asking him, that our coaches are asking him to do. I don't have one single complaint how he's carrying himself."
After one workout, wide receiver Devard Darling declared Cassel "a breath of fresh air."
"He has a lot of swagger, a lot of confidence. It's good for us," said Darling. "We trust in him that he's going to go out there and lead us all the way."
nse to accommodate his specific abilities.
Trapped on the bench behind Heisman winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC and then unable to unseat Super Bowl MVP Brady at New England, Cassel seemed destined to be a backup all his life. As Brady was helped off the field last September, Cassel seized the opportunity he'd been waiting for since high school.
In his only sustained action since his teens, he hit 349 of 555 passes for 3,949 yards at New England. He had 23 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions as the Patriots, who had gone unbeaten through the regular season the year before, finished 11-5 and out of the playoffs.
Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, who had been Bill Belichick's assistant in New England, engineered the trade after the Patriots became convinced that Brady would recover fully from his knee operation.
"Since Matt arrived in Kansas City, he has embraced the team and the community," Pioli said. "His work ethic, his ability and competitive presence is what we expect from our players."
