06/22/2010 - Campbellville, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Post positions have been drawn for Saturday's $1.5 million North America Cup at Mohawk Racetrack. The mile race has 10 three-year-old pacers.

Last Saturday night there were three elimination races. The connections for each of the three winners got to choose the post for their horses.

We Will See, who won his elimination at odds of 12-1, will start from the inside post with driver Brett Miller. Trained by Cosmo De Pinto, We Will See has just the one win this year in five starts for $69,996.

Rock N Roll Heaven will leave from post three with Hall of Fame driver John Campbell. Campbell is filling in for injured driver Dan Dube. Campbell is a six-time winner of the race, most recently in 1999 with The Panderosa.

Trained by Bruce Saunders, Rock N Roll Heaven has won five of seven starts in 2010 for $260,700.

"I'm very delighted," Saunders said. "He's certainly an exceptional horse."

All Speed Hanover will be driven by Ron Pierce from post four. The colt is trained by Michael Vanderkemp and has earned $164,088 this year with two wins in four starts. Pierce won last year's Cup with champion colt Well Said and in 2006 drove Total Truth to victory.

Here is the complete field for the North America Cup in post position order: We Will See, Miller; Fred And Ginger, Dave Palone; Rock N Roll Heaven, Campbell; All Speed Hanover, Pierce; Art Professor, Yannick Gingras; Sportswriter, Mark MacDonald; Delmarvalous, Brian Sears; One More Laugh, Tim Tetrick; Kyle Major, Jody Jamieson and Piece Of The Rock, Paul MacDonell.

FOOTBALL TRASH TALK

NFL Football Trash Talk

Trash talk has a place in every competitive endeavor (except baseball; those stirrup-wearers are too busy chewing on their sunflower seeds and their supplements to worry about what their opponents are doing).

Fantasy sports is no exception. Any intelligent discussion of the subject would probably start with a thesis statement or a definition of terms. Thankfully, this wont be an intelligent discussion.

Let me just say that I am happy to take a place in this space alongside my talented colleagues, even our commissioner. (You should see how she bleats like a demented paper boy about league fees on our fantasy site).

Trash talking, I would argue, is primarily about amusing your friends, their sheeplike demeanors and sloping foreheads notwithstanding. The best place I have found for football trash talking is at www.SportsAlarm.com.

Beyond the entertainment factor, though, I would recognize that the sophomoric ritual has one advantage, when properly applied. It magnifies your fantasy triumphs and mitigates your fantasy failures by transforming the eventual point total into an afterthought. Winning makes it seem like your opponent really is a truss-owning, lapel-pin-wearing nitwit. And in defeat, trash talk can be the air bag to break the fall from your hyperbolic heights. The plug-necked yahoos on your team, you can say, will be sacking groceries by the end of the season.

The best trash talk, in my view, is layered and nuanced. And it doesnt focus only on your opponents team. It picks apart your opponent. The idea is to create a shock-and-awe-scale blizzard of nonsense, and the goal is to make your opponent drop his hands from his keyboard in exasperation.

What team does your opponent root for? Accuse a Giants fan of having a Joe Namath pillowcase. Wheres your opponent from? Give a look of concern no matter his reply, then say, I'll try to type slower for you next time. Is your opponent into politics? Label everyone a tax-and-spend corporate shill.

Cap all that with a liberal application of irrelevance. For instance, dont just conclude by saying your opponent is a twerp who drafts like my grandmother. Say that your opponent is a sweater-wearing, eyebrow-plucking twerp who drafts his team about as well as Zsa Zsa Gabor gave acceptance speeches at the Oscars. By the time your foe makes sense of that, his starting running back will have had puppies.

But what about you? Hmm? Recall a memorable slam? Have a tried-and-true technique? Know someone who seems impervious to insult? Take a moment and tells us about it. Put together some (fit-for-publication) thoughts. You wont be too busy returning phone messages from your friends, Im sure, to reply.

In addition to the trash talking, the Sports Alarm has a huge gallery of high resolution pictures of beautiful women and models in bikinis. The most popular models are: Lindsay Lohan, Carrie Underwood, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Paris Hilton.
