Al Cimaglia: The Adios Pace Super Hi-5 Analysis

August 1, 2020 | By Al Cimaglia
It is Adios Day at the Meadows Racetrack which is the biggest card of the year at the Washington Pennsylvania oval. The Super Hi-5 will have a $50,000 guaranteed pool and it will be contested in Race 15 which is the Delvin Miller Adios Pace with a $375,000 purse. The sequence will have a mandatory payout plus a $50,000 guaranteed pool and it will be my focus.

My two key horses probably won't have the lead initially but could benefit from a speed battle by others trying to get the top. My choice to win the Adios is #2-Capt Midnight and #1-Later Dudes will be used in the 2-3 slots in the Hi-5. If the #1 goes off at a nice price and #6, #8, or #9 hits the board the Hi-5 could pay nicely. That could be the case as long as Capt Midnight comes up with a big effort to take top honors. A solid payout for the Hi-5 hinges on the program chalk #3-Catch The Fire and the 3rd morning line favorite #4-The Greek Freak not finishing at the top of the ticket.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 15-Delvin Miller Adios Pace-Purse $375,000

1-Later Dudes (8-1)-Here is my key to getting a price involved in the Hi-5. This lightly raced 3-year old has started on the rail in the last 2. He might be overlooked and could go off higher than the 8-1 morning line. Dave Miller sat patiently in the Elim, pulled the plugs at the top of the lane, and then rallied nicely for 2nd. Many will say Sandbetweenmytoes, who sat in the pocket, would have finished 2nd if not for breaking. That will be another reason this Brian Brown pupil may not get bet and could provide some juice to the Hi-5. Miller could duck, get a good seat and rally late to hit the board at a nice price. This looks like a spot to be driven more aggressively and the colt did close last week in 26.1. He's learning and getting better. Miller will keep him in the hunt.

2-Capt Midnight (4-1)-Barring a bad trip the Capt looks like the winner and should improve in its 2nd Meadows start. Catch the Fire went to the half last week in .55 and the pace should be quicker today. The Capt was hung 1st over the last 3/8's and did pace the 2nd half in a snappy 53.3 to fall short by a head. He finished well and this time McCarthy could wait for the dust to settle and pull earlier and roll to the top. Drawing inside of the #3 and #4 won't hurt and not sure the 4-1 morning line holds up, but there is value at those odds.

3-Catch The Fire (3-1)-Not casting shade on this son of Captaintreacherous but he is not going to get the same kind of respect as in last week's Elimination. This colt may need to be leading at the top of the lane to win and that may not be the case this time. If Wilder goes for the lead off the gate, which will probably be the case, others could be committed to do the same. So, it will be a question of how much gas will be left after the 3/4's and my guess is the pressure applied early will cost the program chalk.

4-The Greek Freak (5-1)-This has been a very good year for the Freak. He was gelded after going winless in 9-starts in 2019. Now the Burke trainee is riding a 4-race win streak, but he had an even easier path to an Elimination win than Catch The Fire. The Freak got on the engine and went to the half in .56 and was unchallenged for almost the entire mile. This is another nice-looking colt but probably a notch below #2 and #3.

5-No Lou Zing (7-1)-Takter trainee has raced only 8-times and in my view, there is no value at the program odds of 7-1. Looks like a minor player and hasn't shown the same type of speed as others. The lack of seasoning, plus the pilot may not be in the same class as others drivers in this field works against Lou.

6-Sweet Truth (12-1)-Sweet Lou 3-year-old appears to be getting better but is in tall cotton today. Not sure how Gingras can put him in play but wouldn't rule out for a piece of the Hi-5.

7-Chief Mate (20-1)-This is not a win candidate in my mind and will need a close-up seat to hit the board. But could be in the hunt for the bottom of the Hi-5 ticket, but will probably need some luck to finish any higher.

8-Captain Barbossa (8-1)-This is a very nice colt, and is in a similar position as #9. Dunn will need to work a great trip to hit the board from this post and winning seems to not be in the cards. But could add some juice to the Hi-5 payout if finishes in the top three.

9-Elver Hanover (10-1)-This is another fine colt, but this post most likely crushed any chance for a win. Page may blast out and the question will be at what cost. This is probably the best horse of the three Burke has entered. So, if the trip goes well and lands a good seat or follows live cover, Elver could spice up the Hi-5.

Brian Nadeau's Daily Picks

Saratoga - Race #1

#8 Team Merchants	Reddam homebred comes in with a trio of blazing NY drill for O'Neill, drew the perfect outside attack post, and meets a field that doesn't look loaded; call in a scramble.
#7 Winfromwithin	Pletcher runner was odds-on on debut and stalked and closed a bit to be a slow 2nd, but the experience edge is a big one, as is his ability to pass horses; the one to beat.
#4 Windcracker	CD invader was a closing 3rd on debut and is another who will have a leg up on the firsters, though falling too far out of it early isn't ideal on this track; looms in the mix.
Race Summary	Tab the tote on the 8, as you want him live and taking money in a field that looks there for the taking, and if that's the case you can play him in all the slots, and especially to kick off the early Pk5 as well, since this is a deep field, and getting one home in the 6-1 range would knock a lot of tickets out right off the bat.

Saratoga - Race #10

#7 Shoplifted	Price player made a middle move into a crawling pace in the Bel GI then flattened out late to be a distant 3rd to a few who run back here, but the pace looks much hotter here, and off that trial cutback run, for a horse who is 2-1-1-0 here, he might move way up; mos them down late.
#11 Tap It to Win	Dangerous cutback router was in too deep and too far in the Belmont, when he set the pace and tired to be 5th, but his sprint form is top notch, he'll have plenty of foundation off the two route tries, and this outside attack post should fit him perfectly; looks like the one to beat.
#5 Mischevious Alex	Stalker was behind the pick in the GI Woody Stephens last time after chasing the speed early, and sure, he may have been exposed that day, but he's another who should benefit from this being a truer run race, and the price will be right if you're stringing along; expecting a big run.
Race Summary	The price and (hopefully) the race flow will be right on the 7, who figures to get a much better set of circumstances in this big field, so give him a look in all the slots, and especially the late Pk5/Pk4 as well, since he's likely to be completely ignored, which means a win would completely blow up both sequences, especially since the (unmentioned) heavy favorite #6 No Parole, who beat him last time while walking on the lead, is back for more and a potential single for budget players.

Saratoga - Race #12

#5 Jakarta	Speedy miss has some hidden form, as she didn't fire going too far over yielding ground in a GIII two-back then was in over her head in a dirt GIII last time, but the firm turf sprint win three-back plays with these, and she looks like a Lone F; come and catch the upset special.
#2 I'llhandalthecash	The gal to beat finally got a trip last time and won a Bel stakes, and her tactical speed will have her close to the pick early, and get her the jump on the ML favorite off the far turn, though working out a trip from down here in a big field could be a bit of a roadblock; second-best.
#7 Dalika	Vulnerable ML favorite ran out of room when flying at 'Cash last time, so clearly she hits hard here, but the pace won't help her late kick, not to mention she cuts back a half-furlong too, which should help the top-2 a lot more than her; thinking she comes up a bit short once again.
Race Summary	The price and the race flow will both be right on the 5, as she somehow catches a big turf sprint field without any other speed to keep her entertained early, which will give her a big chance late, so play her in all the slots, and especially to end the late Pk5/Pk4 as well, since she's got a big chance to pull off the upset, and what figures to be a very juicy number.

Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks

Laurel Park - Race #2

#9 Fair Catch	Worth a little price look on the hike after taking to the turf quite nicely in that last one. The outside draw works well for his early pace.
#8 Clear Vision	Did graduate going short on the lawn in the debut, but he has been pretty badly outrun in the early going of his recent route races. Along too late?
#7 Grateful Bred	Showed sharp pace to put that field away long before the wire last out, but he's likely to have a little bit of company in the early going.
Race Summary	Fair Catch gets a class test, but his turf debut was really sharp last time out against cheaper, and he draws outside the other pace to get the right trip.

Laurel Park - Race #8

#6 Artemus Bridge	Tactical player should be able to work out another really great trip, and he'd be plenty appealing if offering the 3/1 ML price at post time.
#4 Bobby G	Brings super reliable form with him to this one, and he's one to fear from off the pace late. Not impossible today.
#2 Hard Fought	Has the early pace to try to make a break for it from the inside if they want the lead, but he might be best used in the underneath spots in a pretty tough race.
Race Summary	Artemus Bridge looks the part with these from relatively close range, and he probably only needs to hold his current form to win in this spot.

Laurel Park - Race #9

#2 Breviary	Romped against much softer at the $25,000 MCL level, but she also added blinkers that day which might account for some of the massive move forward. I'll take it at face value if the ML price holds up.
#6 Global Ambition	Has been slowly moving forward through three starts, and she's likely to get another nice trip from tracking range. Wouldn't want too short of a price here.
#7 Mandette	She didn't do much but run around the turf course in the comeback race, but she's got some back dirt races that would make her at least a little bit interesting here at a square price.
Race Summary	Breviary steps way up to face winners out of a soft MCL win, but she looked like a different horse with blinkers on, and I'll give her a chance to prove it was for real at something like 6/1.

Frank Carulli's Daily Picks

Woodbine-Mohawk Park - Race #2

#2 MILITARY SECRET	Strong rally at notch below, starts from better post.
#4 MAJOR HILL	Classy 7-year-old is major player on the class drop.
#7 OSBORNE SEELSTER	Carried speed to a win and two seconds recently, can carry it far again.
Race Summary	Military Secret, unproven at this level this year, rallied 6-wide in the stretch to finish second last week. He draws favorably and is re-united with McNair. Play a 2-4-7 exacta box.

Meadowlands - Race #4

#4 ALLYWAG HANOVER	Raced erratically, had aim at ‘Pace’ victory, settled for third.
#10 TALL DARK STRANGER	Snatched ‘Pace’ victory from jaws of defeat to top $1 million.
#8 CAPTAIN KIRK	Second to ‘Stranger’ two back, faded from post 10 in follow-up.
Race Summary	Allywag Hanover worked out a perfect trip off the dueling leaders in the Meadowlands Pace, angled 3-wide in the stretch but couldn’t reach. He underwent a late equipment repair and raced with his head turned sideways much of the race, so we’re sticking with him.

Woodbine-Mohawk Park - Race #11

#6 ROCKIN N TALKIN	Deceptively sharp victory, takes class hike, price attached.
#10 ROCKIN IN HEAVEN	Held third as fave, had too much work to do in follow-up versus better.
#3 PLAY JET RAY	Good form, good tactical speed but 1-15 record this year.
Race Summary	Rockin N Talkin was much better than his win appears last week. He was trapped on the final turn, found room on the inside and was widening the margin at the wire. He’s too good to pass up at 10-1 on the morning line. Play 6-3 and 6-10 exactas.

Jerry Shottenkirk's Daily Picks

Del Mar - Race #1

#4 Victor's Show	Was up in time at Los Al last time out and keep Hernandez for his first try vs. winners; can stalk and pounce late.
#3 Street Image	Comes in off a gate to wire score over this strip and comes back at the same distance; solid tries in his last three.
#8 Sorriso	Tired in his 1st vs. winner but pressed very fast fractions and is a big threat on the front end of this one.
Race Summary	Victor's Show is a decent closer and will get a fast pace to stalk; can be very tough if he runs back to his last one.

Del Mar - Race #2

#1 Uncle Chuck	Buried fields in his only two races and was on the lead in one and just off the early pace in the other; his 1 1-8th-mile performance in the Los Alamitos Derby was terrific. If there's a down side, if that, he beat four horses in his first race and three in his second. The company gets considerably better here.
#5 Honor A.P.	Was sharp in a come-from-behind win in the Santa Anita Derby and can adjust to any pace. Ready to dig in when called upon.
#3 Anneau d'Or	Was close early in the Arkansas Derby and Santa Anita Derby lost a photo in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile last year; tough on or very close to the front end here.
Race Summary	Uncle Chuck sees his best competition to date but the feeling is that we haven't seen his best; has started only twice but looks like he's good and ready to prove he belongs with the top 3-year-olds.

Del Mar - Race #10

#3 Desert Law	Was second in the Bing Crosby last year and ran a good third in the Thor's Echo after 11 months off. Gets the Hall of Famer Espinoza, who is as good as anyone in big races.
#6 Fashionably Fast	Lost a six-race win streak when second in the Triple Bend last out; at the top of his game and capable of being right there throughout.
#9 Collusion Illusion	Won the four races he finished (was vanned off after pulled up in the American Pharoah last year) and comes in off an easy score in the Laz Barrera. Brings some late energy.
Race Summary	Desert Law has been competitive and has had just four races in the past two years; outstanding when he brings his best and can get a great trip, likely just off the lead.

NHL public betting, line movement, sharp money for Aug. 1
Patrick Everson

The fifth-seeded Pittsburgh Penguins face the No. 12 Montreal Canadiens in a five-game NHL qualifying-round series that opens Saturday. The Penguins are -165 Game 1 favorites at CG Technology.

NHL betting odds are back on the board, as the league moves into two bubbles and a modified Stanley Cup playoffs. Beginning Saturday, the Top-4 teams in each conference will play in a round-robin to determine seeding. The next eight teams in each conference will pair off in a best-of-five qualifying series.

CG Technology risk analyst Dave Sharapan provided insights on NHL opening lines and early line movement, sharp money and public betting for Saturday’s contests. Covers will update this action report with NHL sharp picks vs. public bets and line movement throughout the day.

NHL line movement

The Pittsburgh Penguins opened -165 at CG books for their qualifying-round opener against the Montreal Canadiens (+145) at the Eastern Conference bubble in Toronto. By Friday night, there was still no movement on that 8 p.m. ET faceoff.

The Chicago Blackhawks-Edmonton Oilers qualifying-round opener at the Western Conference bubble, in Edmonton, is a popular series at CG books. Edmonton opened -145 and is up to -155, with Chicago +135 for a 3 p.m. ET start.

An all-Canadian qualifying-round clash between the Winnipeg Jets and Calgary Flames is stable at Calgary -115/Winnipeg -105, and the Florida Panthers-New York Islanders qualifying opener is stuck at a -110 pick ‘em.

NHL sharp money

Professional dollars at CG books are on the Blackhawks-Oilers opener, according to risk analyst Dave Sharapan.

“The most-bet game of the day. Early sharp money laid -145 with the Oilers,” Sharapan said, noting the rest of Saturday’s games have no notable sharp action.

NHL public betting

Sharapan said Pros and Joes are on the same side for Blackhawks-Oilers, as the public is on Edmonton at -155.

“Bets on the Over also keep coming,” Sharapan said, alluding to the total of 6, which has Over priced at -120. “It looks like bettors think Edmonton will have a ‘home-bubble’ advantage.”

Sharapan said the Penguins have seen a “small trickle of bets” from the public. Panthers-Islanders is drawing two-way public action, but CG is heavy to parlays on New York in a 4 p.m. ET contest. And Jets-Flames isn’t catching anybody’s attention yet.

“The lowest-volume game in our books,” Sharapan said of the 10:30 p.m. ET nightcap. “Either the line is right or the two teams are just being overlooked. It is the late game, so I expect bets to be made closer to game time.

How to Bet the 2020 NHL Postseason
Matt Blunt

Handicapping the
NHL Playoffs

The NBA isn't the only league returning to a standard format schedule, as the NHL has decided to give every opening series one potential back-to-back spread around four other games with one day off before hand.

It can always be debated how important the numbers these teams put up before the stoppage really do matter, but games off a day's rest do make up the bulk of the schedule for NHL teams regularly, and we already have some matchups where some interesting betting angles can be approached with these numbers.

The lack of any real travel should dilute them somewhat, as the long layoff will as well, but there could be some nice spots that pop up early on in these series, and continuing throughout the playoffs.

So let's take a look at some of these potential scenarios as it will be here before you know it.

NHL Results
One Day of Rest

Best Records One Day of Rest

Colorado 27-14
Tampa Bay 25-16
Philadelphia 24-8
St. Louis 24-14
Calgary 24-20
Pittsburgh 21-9

Not surprising to see the majority of these teams being the ones in the round robin playing out for the Top 4 seeds, because like it was mentioned earlier, this one day off structure does typically make up the bulk of a team's schedule. Those are some strong numbers the Blues, Flyers, Lightning, and Avalanche put up and should be able to be put to use in the rounds going ahead.

Chances are this scheduling format stays consistent throughout the entire stay in the bubble, and if the teams that dominated in that situation do so again in the restart, likely the most futures units should be saved for teams that do currently reside in the Top 4, whether they are on this list or not.

What is really interesting in terms of the Pittsburgh Penguins case is that the first four games of their series with Montreal are all off a day off. The Canadiens were simply average in that role (19-18 SU) during the year, but were 3-9 SU in that spot as any sort of plus-money underdog and that's likely where they'll be all series.

Pittsburgh to win exactly 3-0 is sitting at +400 right now, while the Penguins to win 3-1 is +350. If you're liking Pittsburgh but aren't keen on paying the juice on them for the series, those are other options to go about it.

And should the series go to a decisive Game 5 on back-to-back nights, a series Penguins wager would still be live, but it would be sweating a 6-8 SU record in that role vs Montreal's 4-9 SU number.

A game Pittsburgh should win, but could also be a single game wagering option should your only pre-series wagers be on the Penguins in three or four and whiff on both. Keeping options open is never a bad thing.

Worst Records One Day of Rest

Chicago 10-25
Dallas 14-20
Edmonton 20-26

Chicago and Edmonton are matched up to begin their proceedings and Oilers fans are hoping that their young talent does in fact win out in the end. Chicago did tie Vegas for the most wins overall in games played on no rest this year with nine, and that back-to-back spot in this series would be a pressure packed Game 5.

Oilers fans do not want to see their team in that spot if possible – although Edmonton was 6-1 without rest this year - and their prices to win 3-0 (+450) and 3-1 (+375) are in the same ballpark that Pittsburgh's are.

Other notes for NHL games off a day of rest

Tampa Bay was a great 'over' bet after a day off at 25-13-3 O/U this year, while the Islanders were the best 'under' side to be on at 13-28 O/U. The Islanders path to success in this restart is going to have to start with their defensive play to begin with, and if they can shut down a Florida team that was predominantly an 'over' team after a rest day (20-14 O/U), who knows how far they could go.

Tampa Bay and their offense is always going to get plenty of love, but looking to back them 'over' the number in their round robin games out of the gate may not be a bad idea either. Washington was an 'over' team themselves in this role at 22-15, and while Boston was just 14-18 SU in their outings, that could also keep the total low enough to keep the 'over' side as the play.

The round robin games could have a more loose feel to them to begin with as they are used more for fitness rather than anything else, and the Lightning, Caps, Bruins and Flyers could all end up going that guns blazing route and let the seeds fall where they may.

NHL Results
Zero Days of Rest

Best Records
Zero Days of Rest

Vegas 9-2
Chicago 9-5
Tampa Bay 8-4
Edmonton 6-1

The first thought that tends to come to mind with Vegas atop that list is the Golden Knights owning an advantage formerly known as the “Vegas Flu” when opponents were in town. That is a term that will likely won't be around much longer, but this is Vegas playing without rest, not their opponent.

The Knights did the bulk of that damage on the road (7-1 SU without rest on the road), but did have the benefit of some luck going their way being 4-0 SU in games that needed OT or a shootout.

The suggestion that Vegas understands how to shut out distractions and get the best result does bode well for their future prospects in this restart and it will be interesting to see how things may line up for the Knights when their elimination games start.

Worst Records
Zero Days of Rest

Toronto 2-11
Arizona 2-10

Hands down the two worst records of any teams involved in this restart, and both better not find themselves down in their respective series when that no rest game pops up.

For Arizona it's Game 3 of their contest with Nashville, so get a split in the first two “road” games and all is forgotten about.

That Coyotes/Predators series has been one that's felt like it will need the distance to be decided since the format was laid out, and outside of this severe disadvantage for one game from a scheduling standpoint for Arizona, the historical scheduling numbers are pretty even between the two.

Toronto's back-to-back game is Game 4 with Columbus a team that was 6-7 SU in that role over the course of the year. The Leafs still have to view this unique campaign as one where they can get that playoff burden off their back early without having to deal with the likes of Boston or Tampa Bay, and maybe they end up flipping the script on this number and close out the series in four games.

Or, it Toronto's “throw away” game after grabbing a 2-1 series lead before they deal with a pressure-packed Game 5. That sounds about par for the course for your team doesn't it Leafs fans? Either way, Toronto trailing in that series going into a Game 4 might be time to start pricing out the possibility of being on the Blue Jackets to close things out then.

Other Notes for NHL games played without rest

The sample size is nowhere near the same, but to see a heavy 'under' team like the Islanders actually be 4-3 O/U in their games without rest is a tidbit of information to hold on to.

That back-to-back spot is Game 3 for the Islanders and Panthers, and it may end up being the only spot that does really look decent to 'over' bettors in that series. Dallas is another team that has had more 'overs' in back-to-back spots too (6-5 O/U).

Ultimately, these back-to-back numbers are helpful in isolating certain games, but these back-to-back spots are going to be so different that they might not mean nearly as much as the one day off numbers do. When games without rest happened during the year, there was some travel involved, and new lodgings to deal with, potentially a time zone and a whole bunch of other things.

None of that will be the case for this restart, and the later in a series these back-to-back games are the easier it may end up being pulling the trigger on the side that simply has looked the fittest through the first four games. Hard not to give that method of attack a thought as well.
