09/01/2008 - Bensalem, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Anak Nakal, ridden by Joe Bravo, rallied down the stretch to capture Monday's 29th running of the $1 million Pennsylvania Derby at Philadelphia Park. It was the first win of the year for the three- year-old.
Part of the hefty Nick Zito stable of three-year-olds, Anak Nakal settled far off the pace in the 1 1/8 mile event. The early pace was set by Wishful Tomcat and Two Step Salsa, the second pick behind Smooth Air.
The top two runners took the 13-horse field into the far turn as Anak Nakal began his move from the back of the pack. On the turn for home Two Step Salsa had a short lead as Acai rallied on the outside.
At the top of the stretch Bravo drove his mount down the middle of the track to catch Acai just before the wire. Anak Nakal registered a neck victory over Acai with 4-1 favorite Smooth Air holding on for third.
Stones River was fourth followed by Atoned, Two Step Salsa, Tiz Now Tiz Then, You and I Forever, Alaazo, Only for Now, Ready Set, Numaany and Wishful Tomcat. Power Game was scratched.
The time for the PA Derby was 1:48.99 on a fast track.
Anak Nakal, owned by Four Roses Thoroughbreds, had been a disappointment this year. In 2007 as a two-year-old the colt won his first start and then was runner-up in the Nashua Stakes at Aqueduct. He closed the season by winning the Kentucky Jockey Club at Churchill Downs.
As a Kentucky Derby hopeful in 2008, Anak Nakal was eighth in the Fountain of Youth, seventh in the Rebel Stakes and fifth in the Wood Memorial. He rallied for a seventh-place result in the Run for the Roses.
He redeemed himself with a third-place finish in the Belmont Stakes, but was fifth at Saratoga in the Jim Dandy Stakes.
The Labor Day victory was worth $600,000 and is the third career win in 10 starts for Anak Nakal. He has career earnings of $943,416.
This was Joe Bravo's third PA Derby triumph. The former Philadelphia Park regular also won in 1994 with Meadow Flight and in 2003 aboard Grand Hombre.
Anak Nakal returned $34.60, $15.00 and $8.60. Acai paid $10.40 and $6.20, and Smooth Air paid $4.60 to show.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
