Saratoga Springs, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Historic Review Committee of the
National Museum of Racing has announced that nineteenth century horse Harry
Bassett, trainer Michael Ernest 'Buster' Millerick and jockey Don Pierce have
been elected to the National Museum of Racing's Hall of Fame.
These three join former Horses of the Year Point Given and Azeri, along with
Best Pal and retired jockey Randy Romero in completing the 2010 Hall of Fame
class. The induction ceremony is to be held on Friday, August 13.
Harry Bassett was a champion at age two in 1870, unbeaten champion at three
and a top handicapper at four. He was bred by A.J. Alexander and raised at
Woodburn Farm in Kentucky and was owned and trained by Col. David McDaniel.
As a two-year-old he won the Nursery Stakes at Jerome Park and the Supper
Stakes at Pimlico. The following season he captured the Belmont Stakes,
Jersey Derby, Travers Stakes and Kenner Stakes.
Harry Bassett also posted victories as a three-year-old in the Champion Stakes
and Bowie Stakes. His 14 race win streak was stopped in his four-year-old
campaign by Longfellow in the Monmouth Cup. Three days later he defeated

$55,920.
Michael Ernest 'Buster' Millerick was a trainer for almost 50 years, retiring
in 1984, and won 1,886 races and trained 54 individual stakes winners. His
best horse was probably Native Diver who entered the Hall of Fame in 1978.
Native Diver won 37 races, including 34 stakes, in 81 starts with over $1
million during seven seasons. He won three straight Hollywood Gold Cups from
1965-1967 and as an eight-year-old captured the Del Mar Handicap and won both
the Los Angeles Handicap and San Carlos Handicap.
Don Pierce rode for 30 years and retired with 3,546 wins, 351 stakes victories
in 28,740 mounts. He concluded his riding career with purse earnings of
$39,018,422.
Pierce won the Santa Anita Handicap four times from 1960 to 1972. From 1969 to
1973 he won each running of the Los Angeles Handicap as well as five runnings
of the Santa Anita Oaks. In addition, he won the Del Mar Debutante and
Hollywood Oaks four times each and the Del Mar Derby, Del Mar Oaks, Santa
Monica Handicap, Santa Ana Handicap and Santa Margarita Handicap three times
apiece.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds
With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season. What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season. Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all. Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13). Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two. Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury. Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven. Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury. Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.
In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons. Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4. Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1). The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this. No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
Just because it is the All-Star break doesn’t mean that you can’t bet on NBA hoops this weekend. Be sure to log onto MySportsbook.com to bet on who you think will cut down the nets this July.
