02/24/2008 - Hallandale Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Eclipse Award winner War Pass and Cool Coal Man, both trained by Nick Zito, registered victories Sunday at Gulfstream Park.
War Pass, the 2007 champion two-year-old male, defeated four rivals in an allowance race in his 2008 debut. Cool Coal Man captured the $350,000 Fountain of Youth Stakes which leads to the March 29 Florida Derby.
Both colts are owned by Robert LaPenta with War Pass perfect in five career starts and Cool Coal Man winning both races this year.
War Pass set the pace in the one-mile race. Jockey Cornelio Velasquez never had to use his whip on the Breeders' Cup Juvenile champ. War Pass drew off to win by 7 1/2 lengths over Web Gem. Chadwell finished third with Jet Run fading to last. Ultimate Authority was scratched from the race.
War Pass covered the mile in 1:36.38 on a fast track.
Sent off at odds of 1-20, War Pass returned the minimum $2.10 and $2.10. Web Gem paid $2.20. There was no show wagering.
Cool Coal Man, ridden by Kent Desormeaux, settled into fourth behind pacesetter Golden Spikes, Make the Point and Elysium Fields. Around the turn for home Cool Coal Man made a bold move on the outside hooking up with Elysium Fields on the lead.
Coming off the turn, Cool Coal Man began to edge away from Elysium Fields in the 1 1/8 mile race. Late down the stretch jockey Eibar Coa was able to rally Elysium Fields to draw within a half-length at the finish.
"I was concerned about the '9 horse' [Elysium Fields]," said Desormeaux. "It's hard to sustain that kind of speed for a long time, but when we were galloping out after the wire he moved out again once he felt the other horse come up to him. My horse was very handy and attentive to my needs. I think we went faster than what the clock said. But time is irrelevant, we won."
Court Vision finished third followed by Z Humor, Golden Spikes, Halo Najib, Kentucky Bear, Anak Nakal, Adriano, Ready Set, Make the Point and 7-2 favorite Monba. The highly regarded Anak Nakal is also trained by Zito.
The time for the 62nd Fountain of Youth Stakes was 1:51.85.
Cool Coal Man paid $16.60, $8.40 and $6.00. Elysium Fields returned $8.00 and $4.40, and the favorite Court Vision paid $3.40 to show.
"I had confidence going in with the post that Kent would get a good position with him," Zito said about Cool Coal Man. "He's run two great races here. With the slow pace, my other horse (Anak Nakal) really had no chance. He needs pace up front. I can't say where or what race he'll (Cool Coal Man) will run in, possibly the Florida Derby. He's not a big horse. He'd need to have a good 30 days from now. We'll see."
War Pass picked up $36,000 with Sunday's allowance win and has now earned more than $1.4 million.
Cool Coal Man has four wins in seven career starts. The Fountain of Youth victory was worth $210,000 to bring his bankroll to better than $300,000. In his first stakes race last year Cool Coal Man was seventh to Anak Nakal in the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
