07/10/2010 - 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.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super Bowl

NFL Super Bowl Betting

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.

Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.

The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East. Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.
