06/22/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Jockey Club has announced that William S. Farish has left his position as vice chairman and has been succeeded by Stuart S. Janney III. The organization's chairman Ogden Mills Phipps made the announcement after Monday's meeting of the Board of Stewards.

Farish served as vice chairman since 1983 and will continue on the Board of Stewards until the end of his term in 2013. He became a member of the The Jockey Club in 1970.

Janney has been with the organization since 1992. He will continue as chairman of The Jockey Club's Thoroughbred Safety Committee.

The Jockey Club is the breed registry for all thoroughbred horses in North America. It is responsible for maintaining The American Stud Book, which includes all thoroughbreds foaled in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico as well as thoroughbreds imported into those countries from nations around the world that maintain similar thoroughbred registries.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.

Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.

MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .

''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''

Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.

He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.

''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''

Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.

Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.

With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
