02/01/2012 - Oldsmar, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Eclipse Award winner Animal Kingdom will begin his four-year-old campaign later this month at Tampa Bay Downs. Team Valor's . Barry Irwin and trainer Graham Motion announced the decision in a press release.
"The Tampa Bay (Feb. 25) will allow him enough works to be fit enough to start back," Motion said. "Any of these earlier races would have been pushing it. We want to have him fit for his first race so it doesn't take too much out of him for the race that we're really pointing for."
The Tampa Bay Stakes is a turf race at 1 1/16-miles and is being used to prep the colt for the $10 million Dubai World Cup on March 31 which is run on a synthetic track.
"I think a turf race will be easier on him coming back," Motion said. "It's a little kinder than the dirt. If the race in Dubai was on dirt, it would probably be a different story."
The 2011 Kentucky Derby winner and champion three-year-old from last year has been working at Palm Meadows Training Center near Gulfstream Park.
"This horse is just on 'go,'" Irwin said. "He is relishing his work, he's happy to be out there, and he just loves to run. And he doesn't seem to be getting that tired."
The Tampa Bay Stakes will be the colt's first start since suffering a hairline fracture during the running of the Belmont Stakes. Prior to that he was second in the Preakness Stakes in addition to taking the Run for the Roses.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
