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.

Two playoff teams from 2007 take center stage on the NFL Network Sunday night in a Week 2 NFL betting match-up when the (0-1) New England Patriots betting head south to Florida for a contest with the (1-0) Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
New England HC Bill Belichick couldn’t care less about the way his team plays in the preseason. With a chance to tie last week’s game with the Baltimore Ravens betting, He elected to go for the two-point conversion and outright victory. The conversion failed, and the Pats ended up falling to the Ravens by a 16-15 final count.
New England rolled off twelve unanswered points to give it a chance at securing the victory, but it never threatened to cover the 3.5-point spread. NFL bettors saw this one coming, as they bet the Ravens down from +6 to +3.5 as the week progressed. QB Tom Brady didn’t take part in the Patriots first preseason clash, but could see action this weekend.
His three replacements all put up embarrassing numbers. They went a combined 17 for 33, and threw three interceptions and no touchdowns. The New England defense was encouraging, as they held the Ravens to 2/12 third down conversions and surrendered just ten first downs. That ‘D’ should be bolstered with the addition of former Bucs and Denver Broncos betting safety John Lynch, who could make his Patriots debut on Sunday against his former mates.
HC Jon Gruden had to be impressed with the way his Bucs played on both sides of the ball in their dominating 17-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1’s NFL pre-season betting action. Bucs bettors were quite happy with the effort, as they made a mockery of the fact that they were underdogs in the game.
The logjam at the quarterback position didn’t get any easier to separate for Gruden, as all four of his QBs had positive experiences in the first exhibition of 2008. The four combined to complete 28 of their 40 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown, and that was without starting QB Jeff Garcia in the lineup.
RB Michael Bennett had 19 carries and four receptions, totaling 90 yards and a touchdown. Expect to see more of Bennett, Kenneth Darby, and Earnest Graham, as they all compete for playing time with Warrick Dunn in the backfield this season. Defensively, the Bucs recorded four sacks and held the Fins offense in check all day.
First round draft pick Aqib Talib was impressive in the secondary, recording a tackle and two pass defenses in his debut. Don’t be surprised to see Talib in the starting lineup opposite Ronde Barber for the Bucs in ’08.
The betting trends suggest that NFL bettors should be backing the Bucs in this intra-conference exhibition.
These two teams hooked up last year in Tampa Bay, with the Bucs winning that game 13-10. The Buccaneers have only lost one preseason game at home dating back to the beginning of the ’05 preseason. The Patriots have had a mixed bag of results in their recent exhibitions. They have gone 2-2 ATS and SU each of the last three years.
New England currently sits as modest 1-point favorites in this preseason showdown with the ‘total’ now sitting at 34.5.
