12/08/2009 - Foxborough, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New England Revolution re-signed forward Kheli Dube, and midfielders Kenny Mansally and Sainey Nyassi, the Major League Soccer club announced.

"We're glad that MLS has been able to resign Kheli, Kenny and Sainey," Revolution Vice President of Player Personnel Michael Burns said. "All three have been solid performers for us the last two years, and we are pleased that they will continue their playing careers with the Revolution."

Dube, 26, has made 47 appearances, scoring 12 goals and adding four assists in his two-year career with the Revolution. Mansally, 20, has made 43 appearances since signing with the team as a youth international from Gambia in Sept. 2006, scoring four goals and three assists. Nyassi, also 20, has scored four goals and two assists in 54 career appearances with the team.

Per MLS and team policies, no further details were released.

Castro will miss the first two games of the 2010 season and was fined $1,000.

Finally, Revolution midfielder Michael Videira underwent successful hernia repair surgery on Monday. Videira's anticipated rehabilitation period is 6-8 weeks, and he is expected to be ready for preseason training.

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses
The 2008 Kentucky Derby has announced a $1-million bonus for this weekend’s 134th ‘Run for the Roses’ and MySportsbook.com is doing the same.

Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details.

According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800).

Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund.

''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.''
    
Meanwhile, the Derby favorite – Curlin – is going against the odds this year. It's been 125 years since Apollo won after skipping his 2-year-old season, and not since Regret in 1915 has such a lightly seasoned horse worn the blanket of red roses.

Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby.

''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.''

Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year.
   
Asmussen dismissed suggestions that Curlin's lack of racing experience could keep him from the winner's circle.

”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?''
   
The Kentucky Derby is at 4:04 p.m., ET Saturday.
