09/01/2008 - Freehold, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Art Official, the Meadowlands Pace winner, made a successful beginning Monday in his quest for this year's Triple Crown with a win in the 54th Cane Pace at Freehold Raceway. The $392,850 one-mile race is the first leg of the Pacing Triple Crown.
The second leg of the Triple Crown, the Little Brown Jug, is set for Thursday, September 18 at the Delaware County Fairgrounds in Ohio, and the Messenger Pace, will be Saturday, October 25 at Yonkers Raceway. No Pan Intended was the last horse to complete the Triple Crown sweep in 2003.
Driven by Ron Pierce, Art Official took the lead the first time the eight- horse field went up the backstretch on the half-mile track. The 3-5 favorite was never headed once he took the lead from Badlands Nitro.
Art Official controlled the race through the second half-mile and held off Badlands Nitro to post a neck victory over the 6-5 second choice. Finishing third was Moon Beam with Mccedes fourth.
The time for the Cane Pace was 1:51 1/5.
The win gave driver Pierce his fourth Cane Pace victory. Art Official, trained by Joe Seekman for Sawgrass Farms, adds $197,000 to his 2008 bankroll which now totals $1,197,000. He has won 10 of 15 starts this year, including his last five.
Art Official paid $3.20, $2.20 and $2.10. Badlands Nitro, who was coupled with Rudy Rednose, returned $2.20 and $2.10, and Moon Beam paid $2.80 to show.

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.
Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.
MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .
''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''
Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.
He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.
''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''
Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.
Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.
With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
