Power claimed his fourth win of the 2010 season at Toronto. He passed Justin Wilson for the lead just after a restart with 14 laps remaining. Power then held off Franchitti at the finish by 1.28 seconds.

 

From 1986 to 2007, the event on the streets of Toronto was sanctioned by Champ Car World Series (CART). Michael Andretti has the most wins here with seven.

 

Will Marco Andretti's winning momentum continue on Sunday?

 

"We love going up there; Canadian race fans are great," he said. Obviously, dad is like a god up there with seven wins. But I'm looking to make my mark up there for sure."

 

British Grand Prix - Silverstone Circuit - Silverstone, England

 

Silverstone Circuit, located in Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire, England, has been considered as the fastest circuit on the Formula One calendar since the mid-1980s, due to its high-speed corners.

 

The track's new layout, introduced last year, was lengthened by 750 meters (2,461 feet), which added approximately ten seconds to the overall lap time. Silverstone is now roughly 27 percent longer than the track length first used for F1 here in 1950.

 

Mark Webber from Red Bull is hoping he's the next driver to join that list.

 

In last year's British GP, Webber passed his teammate and reigning world champion Sebastian Vettel for the lead on the opening lap and then put on a dominating performance from there for the win.

 

"I'm really looking forward to Silverstone," said McLaren's Lewis Hamilton, who won in front of his home crowd during his championship season in 2008. "It's one of the best circuits in the world, and I really think that the arrival of DRS and KERS Hybrid will make this one of the best and most exciting British Grands Prix ever."

 

Hamilton finished second in this race last year.

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.
