Following a tight victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, the Bengals beat the divisional foes Cleveland Browns 23-10 at home, in what was their best defensive display of the campaign and season-low ten points allowed. Cincy didn’t dominate total yards and first downs but they made crucial stops and deserved to get a W.</p>



<p>Joe Burrow completed 18 of 33 passes for 239 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Ja'Marr Chase was excellent in the air as he posted a game-high 119 yards and a touchdown on ten receptions (15 targets). </p>



<p>Trenton Irwin caught two passes for 58 yards and a score, while Samaje Perine scored a rushing TD. Joe Mixon was the best running back in the game with 96 yards on 14 carries. On defense, Logan Wilson had a monstrous game with a career-high 17 tackles.</p>



<p>TE Drew Sample (knee), DE Trey Hendrickson (wrist), and TE Hayden Hurst (calf) are out indefinitely. WR Tyler Boyd (finger) and WR Tee Higgins (hamstring) are questionable to play on Sunday against Tampa Bay.</p>



<p><strong>Buccaneers experienced a disaster against San Francisco</strong></p>



<p>The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-7-0, 3-9-1 ATS) displayed one of their weakest offensive performances of the season in a 35-7 road defeat to the San Francisco 49ers. Tampa trailed 35-0 early in the fourth quarter and was in jeopardy to finish scoreless, but managed to score a consolation touchdown with less than three minutes to go. The Buccaneers committed three turnovers and forced one on the other end.</p>



<p>Tom Brady completed 34 of 55 passes for 253 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Russell Gage was on the receiving end of that lone TD pass, while Chris Godwin, Mike Evans, and Julio Jones combined for 134 yards on 14 catches (26 targets). Rachaad White led the team in rushing yards with 56 on 13 attempts. Defensively, Logan Ryan led the Bucs with nine tackles.</p>



<p>LB Shaquil Barrett (Achilles), C Ryan Jensen (knee), G Aaron Stinnie (knee), T Tristan Wirfs (ankle), and T Robert Hainsey (undisclosed) are out indefinitely. CB Sean Murphy-Bunting (quad), CB Jamel Dean (toe), S Mike Edwards (hamstring), and S Antoine Winfield Jr. (ankle) are questionable to feature on Sunday against the Bengals.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Cincinnati:</strong></p>



<ul><li>20-6 ATS in the last 26 games overall</li><li>13-3 ATS in the last 16 road games</li><li>17-4 ATS in the last 21 games following an ATS win</li></ul>



<p><strong>Tampa Bay:</strong></p>



<ul><li>1-9-1 ATS in the last 11 games overall</li><li>1-6-1 ATS in the last eight home games</li></ul>



<p><strong>Cincinnati Bengals vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Pick</strong></p>



<p>The Buccaneers still have a lot of problems with their offensive line, which is the biggest reason they are 6-7-0 at the moment. It’s not going to improve when they host the in-form Bengals on Sunday, who arrive in Florida with some banged-up offensive players, but Cincy is still a better-looking team. </p>



<p>The Bengals have a top 10 offense that scores 25.8 points per game, while Tampa Bay is averaging just 17.2 ppg, which is unacceptable given they have such an experienced receiving corps and a legendary Brady under the center. The Buccaneers’ defense is stronger than Cincy’s, but that is not going to help them on Sunday.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Take the Bengals at -3.5 (-110)</p>



<p><strong>The Total</strong></p>



<p>The only way for the Buccaneers to win this game is to make it a low-scoring affair. They have the quality on defense but it’s going to be very hard to limit the Bengals, who scored 20+ points in each of their last five games. Tampa has the worst run offense in the NHL, so I expect to see a lot of passes from Brady, but also from Burrow, despite the fact that some of his receivers are injured. </p>



<p>I would be surprised if both quarterbacks fail to pass multiple touchdowns. Over is 4-1 in the Bengals’ last five games after allowing less than 15 points in their previous game, while Over is 8-3 in the Buccaneers’ previous 11 vs. a team with a winning record.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Go Over 42.5 points (-130)</p>

<p>Triple Crown is the most prestigious and classy horse-rising tournament in the world. This series of competitions allows jockeys to show their mastery and win the competition on beautiful Thoroughbred horses.</p>



<p>But have you ever wondered how many horses won the Triple Crown and which jockey achieved the highest results within a competition frame? In this article, we’ll discuss notable races and mention famous horses that become a symbol of the Triple Crown!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Overview of the Triple Crown Races</strong></h2>



<p>Triple Crown Races is a series of horse races that include Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes. Only three-year-old Thoroughbred horses are allowed to participate in this tournament. The first winner was Sir Barton in 1919. Up to the present time, only 13 horses have won the Triple Crown: Sir Barton, Omaha, War Admiral, Whirlaway, Count Fleet, Assault, Citation, Secretariat, Seattle Slew, Affirmed, American Pharaoh, and Justify. Unfortunately, only 2 of them are still alive today, American Pharaoh and Justify.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>List of All Triple Crown Winners</strong></h2>



<p>For all years of its existence, Triple Crown saw many outstanding jockeys and their well-trained horses. However, after the first winner in 1919, no other horse had achieved the same title until 1930. Let us refresh your memory and list all notable Triple Crown winners for the 3 periods of the century!</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>Early Champions (1919-1950)</strong></h3>



<p>We’ll start with very early champions, who were the winners from 1919 to 1950. This period can boast a large number of truly talented jockeys and strong horses that truly deserve to become winners!</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>Mid-Century Winners (1951-1979)</strong></h3>



<p>Due to the decreasing popularity of horse sports, the mid-century period couldn’t be called successful for the tournament.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Year</strong></td><td><strong>Horse</strong></td><td><strong>Jockey</strong></td><td><strong>Trainer</strong></td></tr><tr><td><em>1973</em></td><td>Secretariat</td><td>Run Turcotte</td><td>Lucien Laurin</td></tr><tr><td><em>1977</em></td><td>Seattle Slew</td><td>Jean Cruguet</td><td>William H.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>Modern-Day Winners (1980 - Present)</strong></h3>



<p>In 2020, the Triple Crown tournament was delayed for 2 years because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, people started to lose interest in this classy tournament, and a lesser amount of fans are still attending courses every year.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Notable Horses and Their Triple Crown Wins</strong></h2>



<p>Every horse that even once won the Triple Crown Series is unique and truly amazing. They’re more than just thoroughbred horses; they’re strong, athletic, and amusing animals that help their jockeys win first places at the most prestigious competitions. Let’s see which horses made history and became the most notable winners of all time!</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>First Triple Crown Winner: Sir Barton</strong></h3>



<p>The first and most old horse that won the Triple Crown became the Sir Barton. The first winner, Sir Barton, was bred in Kentucky by John E. Madden. This one had rich roots because his paternal grandsire was the Isinglass, the English Triple Crown winner in 1893. Sir Barton was a very grouchy horse, which is why money jockeys had a hard time with it. The only person that Sir Barton didn’t hate was Toots Thompson.</p>



<p>On May 10, 1919, Sir Barton, along with his jockey, Johnny Loftus, won the first season of competitions. In the same year, it was honoured as the “Horse of the Year.” This notable win laid the foundation for its bright career.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.bangthebook.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Sir-Barton.png" alt="Sir Barton" class="wp-image-52069"/></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Most Famous Triple Crown Champions</strong></h3>



<p>Everyone who follows the races of the Triple Crown knows that the most recent winners of this tournament are three beautiful horses: Secretariat, American Pharaoh, and Justify.<br><br></p>



<p>Secretariat is the oldest from this list and is known as a Big Red American thoroughbred animal. He was bred by Christopher Cheaner’s Meadow Stud in 1970. This wonderful horse became the ninth winner of the Triple Crown and set a record as the fastest one in the tournament.</p>



<p>American Pharaoh became the 12th winner of the Triple Crown Series in 2015. Pharaoh was bred by Ahmed Zayat and trained by Bob Baffert. This horse won this famous tournament, being only 3 years old. Now, American Pharaoh is still participating in many competitions and remains one of the two last alive winners.</p>



<p>9-year-old Justify is the other winner of the <a href="https://bangthebook.com/horse-racing">Triple Crown</a> tournament. Born in 2015, this strong male horse gained his first attention in 2018 after winning each of all famous races. He was bred in Kentucky by John Gunther and had many famous ancestors, such as Secretariat, Omaha, Admiral, etc.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>Challenges and Rarity of Winning the Triple Crown</strong></h2>



<p>The Triple Crown is quite a challenging tournament that only the most professional jockeys and strongest horses can win. Every animal should undergo serious and complex training that will train his endurance and fortitude.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>The Physical and Mental Demands on Horses</strong></h3>



<p>Before participating in the Triple Crown Series, horses must be trained according to the Triple Crown Formula. This formula presents meal and workout requirements that every trainer should consider when preparing his horse. Triple Crown Formula includes:<br><br></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>High-calorie meals (oats, molasses, soybeans, wheat middlings);</li>



<li>High-fat feed (crude proteins);</li>



<li>Endurance training (jumps, long-distance runs);</li>



<li>Swim workouts.</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>Why Only a Few Horses Have Achieved This Feat?</strong></h3>



<p>Due to the fact that in this competition, all participants should be clean Thorugrabred, many trainers and breeders face some problems. Horses can have congenital problems that won’t allow them to run and jump through the obstacle course. Another reason is the animal’s character, namely in their adversity. Many have difficulty making contact with trainers, which leads to disqualifying them from the tournament.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.bangthebook.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/American-Pharoah.png" alt="American Pharoah" class="wp-image-52070"/></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Impact of Triple Crown on Horse Racing History and Culture</strong></h2>



<p>The concept of this competition was popularised by the columnist of Daily Racing Form, Charles Hatton. In his writings, he often used the term “Triple Crown” to describe the horse racing series. Since then, all people who have just once heard about racing tournaments have immediately thought about the American Triple Crown.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>Influence on Breeding and Bloodlines</strong></h4>



<p>After the tremendous winner, Secretariat, many breeders started to arrange horses sired to the Bold Ruller. This one’s pedigree was the most popular in America in 1963. Thanks to that, most of the horses that still participate in the tournament have Secretariat as their main ancestor.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>Popularity and Cultural Significance of Triple Crown Champions</strong></h3>



<p>In our time, those who won all Triple Crown races become champions around the world. Statues are made in their honour, while the museum has whole sections dedicated to the winners. For instance, the Secretariat was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame so all visitors can see the real horse dimensions.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.bangthebook.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Justify-at-Belmont-Stakes.png" alt="" class="wp-image-52071"/></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Record-Breaking Triple Crown Winners</strong></h2>



<p>Obtaining victory trophies at the Triple Crown requires not only horse merit but also the well-coordinated work of the jockey and trainer. Let’s look at the record-breaking winners of this famous tournament, taking into account jockeys!</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>Fastest Times in Each Race</strong></h3>



<p>And again, we’ll talk about the Secretariat. This brilliant horse set a record for the fastest times in all 3 races. This stallion had run the Kentucky Derby for just 1:59, Preakness Stakes for 1:53, and last but not least, Belmont Stakes for 2:24.</p>



<p>Ronald Morel, or “Ronnie,” the jockey who rode Secretariat, has also become famous for riding the fastest horse. After his tremendous victory, he was offered to join the Order of Canada.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>Record Wins by Jockeys and Trainers</strong></h3>



<p>Regarded by many critics and trainers, Eddie Accaro was awarded the title of the best world jockey. He won the Triple Crown twice, riding Whirlaway and Citation. Johny Longden is another sensation in horse riding sport. He gained over 6,000 wins over his career and won the Triple Crown with the help of Count Fleet.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.bangthebook.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Triple-crown-syndications.png" alt="Triple Crown Syndications" class="wp-image-52072"/></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Modern Contenders and Near Misses</strong></h2>



<p>Despite its popularity among horse lovers, the tournament has been going through a number of changes lately. Visitors still like to visit this competition, but recently, we can name only 2 horses that were able to obtain the Triple Crown trophy.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>Recent Horses That Almost Won the Triple Crown</strong></h3>



<p>American Pharaoh and Justify are the latest Triple Crown champions. Both were trained by Bob Baffert. He, by the way, became the second trainer in history whose straight 2 horses won the Triple Crown. Victor Espinoza was riding American Pharaoh while Justify got to Mike Smith.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>Factors Affecting Current Chances of a Triple Crown Win</strong></h3>



<p>In 2024, the famous Belmont Stakes (third of Triple Crown) will be run at Saratoga Park instead of Belmont Park. This decision was made by the organisers due to the better construction and shorter distance of the Saratoga Park Course. The final leg of the tournament is also expected to move to Saratoga.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>Frequently Asked Questions</strong></h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>How Often Is the Triple Crown Achieved?</strong></h3>



<p>The Triple Crown has been held since 1875. Up to our time, only 13 horses could become the absolute champions.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>How Has the Triple Crown Evolved Over Time?</strong></h3>



<p>Advances in training and breeding make the Triple Crown tournament more competitive while still maintaining its prestigious status.</p>

How Many Horses Have Won the Triple Crown?

We know that Daytona International Speedway is made for surprises and we got one last weekend when William Byron finished the regular season with a win and left no doubt about his Cup Championship Playoffs worthiness. We’ll see how he and the other 15 drivers start the Round of 16 with this week’s Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway in Darlington, SC.

This is the first of 10 races that will decide a champion. After each set of three, the field will lose four drivers until we get to the championship, which is now at ISM Raceway, formerly known as Phoenix International Raceway, in Avondale, Arizona.

Only 16 drivers are eligible for the Championship, but all of these are still full-field races, so guys not in the playoffs will be racing for dollars.

Let’s break it all down for you, including the Cup Championship Playoffs odds, for the Cook Out Southern 500 with the help of <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/mybookie"><strong>MyBookie Sportsbook</strong></a>:

CUP CHAMPIONSHIP PLAYOFFS ODDS

KEVIN HARVICK +200
DENNY HAMLIN +300
MARTIN TRUEX JR. +700
CHASE ELLIOTT +750
BRAD KESELOWSKI +800
KYLE BUSCH +1200
JOEY LOGANO +1200
RYAN BLANEY +1400
ARIC ALMIROLA +3300
KURT BUSCH +3300
ALEX BOWMAN +4000
WILLIAM BYRON +4000
CLINT BOWYER +5000
MATT DIBENEDETTO +5000
COLE CUSTER +6600
AUSTIN DILLON +6600

Kevin Harvick has been the best and most consistent driver all season long and he is the +200 favorite. This is also a great year for the final to be at ISM Raceway because Harvick is the best active driver at that track. Denny Hamlin has also been extremely fast and consistent this season and he checks in at +300.

It is important to understand the format here. Harvick is starting the Round of 16 with 2,057 points Hamlin has 2,047. The bonus points accumulated during the course of the regular season are applied at the start of each round. The 16 playoff drivers had their points totals reset to 2,000 and then the bonus points were added.

With a big head start, guys like Harvick and Hamlin are basically locks to make it into at least the next round and likely the next two rounds. The same applies for guys like Brad Keselowski, who accumulated 29 bonus points and Joey Logano and Chase Elliott, who accumulated 22 and 20 bonus points, respectively.

Every playoff driver except for Matt DiBenedetto accumulated at least one bonus point.

Drivers that win a race during a round automatically advance.

Now, with those odds listed and the particulars out of the way, let’s look at this week’s Cook Out Southern 500:

Kevin Harvick +275
Denny Hamlin +300
Martin Truex Jr +650
Brad Keselowski +1000
Chase Elliott +1000
Kyle Busch +1200
Ryan Blaney +1600
Joey Logano +1600
Kurt Busch +1800
Erik Jones +2000
Aric Almirola +2500
Alex Bowman +2500
Jimmie Johnson +3300
Tyler Reddick +3300
Clint Bowyer +4000
William Byron +4000
Matt DiBenedetto +5000
Cole Custer +8000
Christopher Bell +8000
Matt Kenseth +10000
Austin Dillon +10000
Ryan Newman +15000
Ricky Stenhouse Jr +25000
Chris Buescher +30000
Bubba Wallace +40000
John Hunter Nemechek +50000
Ty Dillon +75000
Brennan Poole +100000
Michael McDowell +100000
Daniel Suarez +100000
Ryan Preece +200000
Corey Lajoie +300000
Josh Bilicki +300000
JJ Yeley +300000
Timmy Hill +400000
Reed Sorenson +400000
Quin Houff +400000
Joey Gase +400000
James Davison +400000

This is a recurring theme for the season, but Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin are the two best active drivers at Darlington. Harvick leads all active drivers with 10 top-five finishes. Hamlin has nine. Hamlin and Jimmie Johnson at the winningest drivers at Darlington with three apiece, but, as we know, most of Johnson’s good numbers came a long time ago.

Hamlin has his nine top-five finishes in just 16 races. Brad Keselowski has five in his 13 starts at this track. A guy that has run surprisingly well here is Erik Jones. Jones only has five starts, but he has a win and three top-five finishes. When you consider that somebody like Martin Truex Jr. only has two top-five finishes in 16 races, that magnifies just how impressive the runs at Darlington have been for Jones. Chase Elliott has two top-five finishes in six races.

The only active drivers with wins here are Johnson, Hamlin, Harvick, Keselowski, Kyle Busch, Matt Kenseth, and Truex Jr. Truex has actually accumulated 83 points over his last three Darlington starts, so he didn’t have much success early in his career in the Palmetto State, but he seems to have found the right racing line recently. Only Harvick and Hamlin have more points over the last three races. Surprise, surprise, right?

If we extend to the last four races, that brings Jones into second place in points accumulated, but that win certainly heps in that department.

The fact of the matter is that Harvick has 55 more points than any other driver over the last 10 Darlington races. Like seeming every other race this season, it is his to lose. Hamlin is one point better than Busch, who is then followed by Truex over the last 10. Harvick seems like the best hope for somebody other than a Toyota to win. You also may want to look at a Toyota as the winning manufacturer prop or something like that.

This probably ends up being a chalky race. If it doesn’t, then you have to respect what Jones has done here and consider him. Alex Bowman has quietly run well here, but he hasn’t had much success recently. Clint Bowyer is another guy that seems to be sneaky competitive in races like this.

<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Picks</strong></span>

Harvick and Hamlin. Lather, rinse repeat. I’d be surprised if anybody outside of those two wins Sunday’s race. If you want to get frisky with Jones or somebody like that, you can. Everybody wants to hit the big long shots, but the fact of the matter is that this season’s two most reliable drivers happen to be the two best drivers in the field here.

That said, 40/1 on Clint Bowyer is a ridiculous price for a very good driver. I think he’s worth a look at that price point and in matchups.

Coverage of the Cook Out Southern 500 will be on Sunday afternoon at 6:15 p.m. ET on NBC Sports.

Major League Baseball (MLB) might not be the most popular sport in the world to wager on, but it still presents a really good betting option. MLB betting comes in many different forms, and this is a season that presents plenty of betting opportunities as well.

Major League Baseball was founded all the way back in 1876, but the league has obviously gone through some major changes since that time. Most of the major rules are still in place, but the way that the game is played is now much different.

There are currently 30 teams in MLB, and every team plays 162 games during the regular season. MLB games typically start at the end of March, or early April, and the World Series wraps up during the first week of November.

MLB teams are split up into leagues and divisions, but there is now more crossover games than ever before. The American League and National League now operate under the same basic rules, and that keeps things similar regardless of what league you are looking at.

Knowing the best MLB betting sites &amp; sportsbooks is also important if you plan to bet on MLB, and this article will explore that as well. By the time you are done reading this article, you should be ready to bet on baseball.

St. Louis Cardinals vs San Diego Padres Betting Pick & Prediction 4/3/24

An analysis of the New York Islanders this season hasn't had to be too complicated. They have largely played like a Stanley Cup champion at home and like an also-ran on the road.

The Islanders have been so dominant at the Nassau Coliseum that it was actually kind of surprising to us that they couldn't even put a goal on the board during regulation time against the Washington Capitals on Thursday night.

But the fact is that they didn't, and in a very tightly-contested East Division, they lost a share of first place and are now in third position, with the Boston Bruins just three points behind and with a game in hand.

The Islanders and Caps will once again get together on Saturday in Uniondale, Long Island. And <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports"><strong>BetAnySports</strong></a> gives you the opportunity to grab some better odds with reduced juice as well as great live wagering with Sports Betting Prime.

As you will see, the Islanders are the favorites;

<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>WASHINGTON CAPITALS at NEW YORK ISLANDERS</strong></span>
7:08 PM ET Saturday - Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY

<strong>Money Line:</strong> Islanders -137 / Capitals +117
<strong>Total:</strong> Under 5.5 Goals -125 / Over 5.5 Goals +105
<strong>Puck Line:</strong> Islanders -1.5 Goals (+180) / Capitals +1.5 Goals (-220)

Thursday's game went the initial 60 minutes without any scoring. Then the Caps won in a shootout, in a contest that featured outstanding goaltending from Washington's Ilya Samsonov and the Islanders' Semyon Varlamov.

Not scoring at home has been out of character for the Islanders. They have been the NHL's highest scoring home team, averaging 3.5 goals per game. The end result is a 19-5 won-lost record on the island.

And this is a team that has generally gotten off to pretty good starts at home, which helps. They have, in fact, outscored the opponents 30-11 in the first period. No, they did not have a first period goal on Thursday, but they did seem to dominate the action, outshooting the Caps 15-4 over the first 20 minutes. More quality chances, obviously, will result in more goals in the long run.

The Islanders are tied with Pittsburgh for the second spot in the East, a point behind Washington. So as you can imagine, every day there could conceivably be a change in the division leader, and as we mentioned, the Bruins could soon join the party. This is probably the most exciting race in the NHL right now.

Under Barry Trotz, who won the Stanley Cup with Washington but didn't stick around and wound up with the Isles, the home team here is defensive-minded (allowing third fewest goals in league). Some of the pundits feel that the injury loss of Anders Lee is going to be their undoing in the end. Their winning percentage without him is only slightly lower than it was with him, but his leadership value (he was team captain) is hard to calculate.

It could be that the Islanders are trending downward. But we still have to respect what they do at home. And with a 20-1-2 record when they score first, their proficiency in first period action at the Coliseum has to be a factor as well.

We realize how good Washington is. But we're going to pay the price to see the Islanders rebound at home.
