One More Laugh claims Cane Pace
Horseracing Betting Lines
09/06/2010 - Freehold, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Odds-on favorite One More Laugh rolled to victory Labor Day in the $300,000 Cane Pace at Freehold Raceway. The Cane Pace is the first of Pacing's Triple Crown races.
Pacing's Triple Crown will continue with the Little Brown Jug on Thursday, September 23 at the Delaware County Fairgrounds in Ohio and the Messenger Pace at Yonkers Raceway on Saturday, November 6.
One More Laugh, driven by Tim Tetrick, broke from the inside post in the eight horse field. On Friday morning BG's Folly was scratched after becoming sick. He was replaced in the field by Foreign Officer.
Trained by co-owner Ray Schnittker, the three-year-old gelding was challenged around the first turn by Delmarvalous, but shook free up the backstretch the first time on the half-mile track. One More Laugh covered the first half-mile in :54 4/5.
Around the clubhouse turn the second time I'm Gorgeous ranged up on the outside to get within striking distance of One More Laugh. Around the final turn Rockin Image moved into second, but could not keep up with the favorite.
One More Laugh, the 7-10 favorite, paced the mile in a stakes record 1:50 3/5 and posted a three-length victory. Vintage Master set the previous record of 1:50 4/5 in winning last year's Cane Pace.
Rockin Image was second and Urgent Action finished third followed by Delmarvalous, Valentino, Woodstock, Foreign Officer and I'm Gorgeous.
The victory is the first for both the driver and trainer in the Cane Pace. Schnittker owns the horse with Mathias Meinzinger and Jerry Silva.
Should One More Laugh go on and claim the Little Brown Jug and Messenger, he would become the 11th Triple Crown champion. No Pan Intended was the last to sweep the three races in 2003.
Earlier this year One More Laugh won the $1 million Meadowlands Pace. He also captured the Art Rooney Pace at Yonkers. He was second to Rock N Roll Heaven in the $500,000 Battle of the Brandywine at Harrah's Chester. Rock N Roll Heaven was runner-up in the Meadowlands Pace and did not compete in the Cane.
This year One More Laugh has won five of 11 starts for more than $1 million. In his career the pacer has earned more than $1.66 million with 14 wins in 23 starts.
One More Laugh returned $3.40, $2.10 and $2.10. Rockin Image paid $4.20 and $3.80, and Urgent Action paid $9.00 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.
