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.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.

Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.

El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.

MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds. 

Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.

New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.

Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
