01/11/2012 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Due to an error in statistics involving the voting for the 2011 Eclipse Award for Apprentice Jockey, a re-vote has been conducted by the affected organizations.
On Wednesday, the National Thoroughbred Racing Association, Daily Racing Form and the National Turf Writers And Broadcasters announced that there is no change in the three finalists for the category. Remaining as finalists are Ryan Curatolo, Kyle Frey and Rosario Montanez.
It was announced last Saturday that voting would be re-done after incorrect stats were released for eligible riders.
"This is an extremely unfortunate situation, but given the circumstances, the three voting organizations feel the only fair thing to do is to conduct a second vote," said Keith Chamblin, senior vice president of the NTRA and a member of the Eclipse Award steering committee. "The three organizations agree that to have any Eclipse Award votes cast based on inaccurate or misleading data is simply not acceptable."
The 41st Eclipse Awards ceremony will be held on Monday, January 16 in Beverly Hills, CA.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds:
Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
Arizona Cardinals +6.5 (-110), Under 46.5 (-110), +220 (Money line)
