Yonkers, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - On The Tab, driven by David Miller, overtook
stablemate Senor Glide down the stretch to win Saturday night's $573,770
Yonkers Trot, the first leg of trotting's Triple Crown.
The time for the 56th Yonkers Trot was 1:58 4/5.
On The Tab was part of a three horse entry trained by Jimmy Takter. Hard Livin
was the third horse in the entry which went off as the 1-10 favorite. The two
horse Ray Schnittker Stable entry of Big Stick Lindy and Shaq Is Back was the
5-1 second choice. .
Senor Glide, with Cat Manzi driving, set the pace for most of the mile. On The
Tab took over second on the final backstretch. The two Takter horses were
joined on the homestretch by Take My Picture.
On The Tab got past Senor Glide down the stretch as Take My Picture trotted
past the pacesetter on the outside. On The Tab got the victory by a half-
length over Take My Picture with Senor Glide holding on for third in the eight
horse field.
"It's one of those races I consider a big challenge to win," Takter said.
"This is one of the classiest races we have in this country, one of the oldest
and so many great horses have won this. It's also a big value for a horse to
win this race."
Completing the order of finish was Hard Livin, Carnegie, Waldorf Hall, Big
Stick Lindy and Shaq Is Back.
Takter won the Yonkers Trot for the first time in 2009 with Judge Joe. David
Miller recorded his first Yonkers Trot win.
On The Tab earned $286,885 and can become the ninth trotter to sweep the
Triple Crown. Glidemaster was the last three-year-old to accomplish the feat
in 2006.
The trotting Triple Crown will continue on Saturday, August 7 with the
Hambletonian at The Meadowlands and the Kentucky Futurity at The Red Mile on
Saturday, October 16.
On The Tab got his first win of the year with the Yonkers Trot victory and the
fifth of his career. In 19 career starts the colt has earned $482,697. Last
week he finished in a dead-heat for second with Hard Livin in an elimination
race.

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.
Bet on NFL Football
Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.
Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.
Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.
All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.
A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
