Horseracing Betting Lines

07/17/2010 - East Rutherford, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - One More Laugh, driven by Tim Tetrick, turned the tables on Rock N Roll Heaven to win Saturday's $1 million Meadowlands Pace at The Meadowlands. The three-year-old gelding covered the mile in 1:47 4/5.

Last week in a Meadowlands Pace elimination heat, One More Laugh was second to Rock N Roll Heaven.

Rock N Roll Heaven, driven by John Campbell, set the pace up the backstretch and was closely followed by Kyle Major and half-brother Rockin Image. North America Cup champ Sportswriter broke sharply from the outside post, but was not involved in the early going.

Sent off as the 3-2 favorite, Rock N Roll Heaven took the 10 horse field into the far turn as Rockin Image gained ground on the outside. The two sons of Rocknroll Hanover were first and second coming off the final turn with One More Laugh moving into third.

At the top of the stretch Rock N Roll Heaven was still on the lead. Tetrick put his drive to the outside and quickly cut into the pacesetter's lead. One More Laugh had the last laugh as he drove past Rock N Roll Heaven as the pair approached the wire.

One More Laugh registered a head victory over Rock N Roll Heaven with Valentino finishing third and Rockin Image dropping to fourth. Rounding out the order of finish was I'm Gorgeous, Delmarvalous, Sportswriter, Nova Artist, Fred And Ginger, Kyle Major.

"He's a very nice horse and he never gets tired," noted the winner driver.

One More Laugh is trained by co-owner Ray Schnittker who was making his Meadowland Pace debut. Tetrick earned his second Meadowlands Pace victory. The nation's leading driver previously won the race in 2007 with Southwind Lynx.

Saturday's win was worth $500,000 to put One More Laugh's career bankroll at more than $1.3 million. He has won 12 of 19 lifetime starts.

One More Laugh won the Art Rooney Pace at Yonkers on June 12, but finished seventh two weeks later in the North America Cup at Mohawk. In 2009, the gelding won the Governor's Cup at Harrah's Chester.

One More Laugh paid $8.20, $4.00 and $3.40. Rock N Roll Heaven returned $3.20 and $2.80, and Valentino paid $7.40 to show.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
