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.

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.''
