Al Cimaglia: Scioto Downs Pick 5 Analysis

August 15, 2020 | By Al Cimaglia
Scioto Downs has a 15-race card ready to go tonight and the 0.50 Pick 5 begins in Race 5. That sequence will be my focus and it has a low 14% takeout.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 5

3-My Hero Ron (5/2)-Sutton's choice over the 1 and 9 has won over $249K at ScD and drops into a good spot. Was battling Open company and most recent start at this class was in the slop. Could be sitting on a big try.
7-Americanfirewater (10-1)-Will toss last versus Open company in a needed start. Likes to win having taken 14 pictures in last 44 starts and can leave in a hurry to be forwardly placed at a price.
8-Yankee Boots (5-1)-Morgan stable entry was the choice of Sutton over #7. Drops into a spot to shine, likes to get on the engine and is another who could be flying off the gate.

Race 6

1-Hitman Hill (2-1)-Only 1 for 9 this year but drops, draws the rail and can race at the top of the stack. Not sure this 5-year-old can be trusted but has no excuse.
2-My Buddy Ninkster (20-1)-Will toss last from the 9-hole and take a swing for a price. Fits with this crew but the risk is concerning the steer. If Barker can work a decent trip this guy could surprise, likes the track and will use in gimmicks.
7-Odds On Delray (7-1)-Not the best of trips in last from the rail but this race could set-up differently. Sutton can find some live cover and pace could be hot as there could be 3 leaving from the inside. Best to respect at a square price.

Race 7

4-Gold Digger King (5-1)-Pet Rock 4-year-old has been in the money in 17 of 22 starts at ScD and is in play with some post relief. May get a win at this class at a square price.
5-Stars Align A (5/2)-Steps up off a sharp win and hot barn has been winning at a 30% clip over the last 30 days. Should be in the mix but doesn't offer much value at the morning line odds.
8-Havefaithinme N (3-1)-The post helps the price and shows a couple of wins this summer versus Open company. This is a competitive horse that could win from out here.

Race 8 (3-1)

6-R Bazingga (2-1)-Loses Brett Miller but Smith will be out and rolling as this Morgan trainee looks to snag 4th straight win. The morning line chalk has been really sharp and could get the top without much strain so will string along.

Race 9

1-American Dreamer (9/2)-Will look for some value and my thinking is a great trip could line up following #5. Deaton can take advantage of a ground saving mile and sweep by at a solid price.
5-Escaprtothebeach (5/2)-Ships in from the Big M and has done well at ScD hitting the board in 2 of 3 starts with 1 picture. Should enjoy the company, and with a smooth trip will be tough to beat.

0.50 Pick 5

3,7,8/1,2,7/4,5,8/6/1,5
Total Bet=$27

To Recap…And Saratoga’s Saturday Late Pick 4

August 14, 2020 | By Johnny D
Last weekend, in this space, yours truly suggested that Uncle Chuck could make Tiz the Law cry ‘Uncle’ in the Travers. We were half-right. Although there was plenty of ‘Uncle’ crying, unfortunately, most of it was done by Uncle Chuck instead of Tiz the Law.

The weeping actually began long before the million-dollar featured race. It commenced in that elegant Spa paddock beneath tall shade-producing trees where Uncle Chuck screamed at foes as if one of them had stolen his favorite blanket. When it comes to equine pre-race behavior, yelling in the paddock is rarely a positive omen. It suggests that the animal in question is distracted; has his mind elsewhere—one can guess at possible topics. Clearly, from the start, Uncle Chuck was unfocused on the task at hand.

The race developed early according to Hoyle--Uncle Chuck on the lead attempting his best Arrogate impersonation. Tiz the Law assumed a great position--three-wide and just off the leader. Through a quarter in :23 3/5 and a half in :48 1/5 little changed up front. Uncle Chuck continued comfortably on the lead; Shivaree raced second and Tiz the Law third, both closely staggered off the leader’s flank.

A tad past halfway home, Shivaree called it a day and jockey Manny Franco quizzed Tiz the Law about promptly collaring Uncle Chuck. There would be no ‘walking the dog’ on the lead today. As they hit three-quarters in 1:11 4/5 jockey Luis Saez began to scrub a bit on Uncle Chuck’s collar, urging him to repel the favorite’s creeping advance. Uncle Mo’s son did not respond with enthusiasm.

Midway around the far turn, the much anticipated Tiz the Law/Uncle Chuck matchup appeared. It was, perhaps, a bit earlier in the running than most expected, but what we had tuned in to see. “And the battle is joined here,” proclaimed veteran track announcer John Imbriale, at NYRA since ’79 and, amazingly, making his maiden Travers-call voyage at 64.

Immediately, savvy race-watchers knew what the outcome would be. Uncle Chuck was feeling the heat, about to crack, muttering ‘Uncle.’ In respective cockpits, Saez scoured away like a washerwoman erasing a chocolate stain from a white shirt; alongside, Franco remained as still as the desert night. Only movement in Tiz the Law’s saddle came when Franco, confident he ‘had’ ‘Chuck, turned to scan behind for any potential threats. He saw none.

In 1:36 2/5 for the mile, turning into the stretch, as Saratoga sunlight illuminated his splashy blaze, Tiz the Law and Manny Franco possessed, in poker parlance, the ‘stone cold nuts.’ Franco turned his partner loose, gave him an un-cocked backhanded tap and added a ‘smooch’ or two. In response, ‘Law dropped his head, extended his stride and awaited further instructions. None were required, although Franco did administer another un-cocked backhand. The gravity of the Travers stage and an accompanying $1 million purse probably stimulated Franco to un-cock his stick and raise his right arm to deliver a blow. However, a quick underarm glance behind fittingly suppressed the urge. The jock sheathed his sword and hand rodeto the finish in 2:00 4/5, as Imbriale exclaimed, “Here he is, Saratoga’s hometown hero!”

The performance was a tour de force. A landslide victory. A proper rout. Tiz the Law will arrive in Louisville, Kentucky on the first Saturday in September as the overwhelming favorite to win the postponed Kentucky Derby. California-based Honor A. P. and streaking Ellis Park Derby winner Art Collector appear most logical challengers and distant Louisville co-second choices.

Just how good is Tiz the Law? From an historical perspective, a COVID-convoluted sophomore season has made evaluating this colt’s talent level tricky. Earlier this year, when the Gr. 1 stakes batting order was altered to include Belmont, Travers, Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Breeders’ Cup, respectively, yours truly suggested to a compatriot that if Tiz the Law were to run the table, he would hit knees and kiss the colt’s hooves. With two down and three to go, it may be time to pucker up.

Probably the most impressive aspect of Tiz the Law is how much he’s developed since his impressive, but not overwhelming, 2-year-old season. The colt has blossomed under the seasoned eye of veteran conditioner Barclay Tagg and his career has been managed expertly for a complete calendar year—coincidentally, his Travers score came exactly one year to the day since he broke maiden first out in a state-bred race at Saratoga. That’s no meager accomplishment. Tiz the Law’s owners Sackatoga Stable, led by Jack Knowlton, teamed with Tagg to campaign Funny Cide to a near Triple Crown that was upended by Empire Maker in the 2003 Belmont Stakes.

Tiz the Law is an example of three types of sophomores rolled into one: First, he was an early Kentucky Derby future book contender based on 2-year-old accomplishments. Second, he was a winter/spring Florida Derby-winning sensation. And finally, he also is a continuously developing sophomore that came to hand for the Travers and, apparently, beyond. Based on previous accomplishments Tiz the Law is a star. If he adds the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Breeders’ Cup Classic to his resume, well, he’ll go down in history as one of the all-time greats.

Like with everything in 2020, there will be an asterisk beside a possible Tiz the Law Triple Crown. And there should be. The most difficult aspect of turning the Triple is the spacing between races and distance sequencing. If successful, Tiz the Law will have stretched his domination out over several months. Impressive? Absolutely. But not, from this chair, as difficult as rattling them off back-to-back in a few weeks.

No matter. As Tiz the Law cantered home to win the Travers Stakes, it was clear we were watching a Thoroughbred at his very best, dominant over inferior foes, over a racetrack with history full of upsets. Again, Travers was fun to watch and it sets the stage for an incredible next act.

Below is one man’s view of Saturday’s Saratoga Late Pick 4:
This could be a tricky sequence. Great analysis, Einstein, when are they ever easy? We’ve hit a few in this space this season, but they’ve paid little. We’ve missed more than we’ve hit and there’s a reason for that: Pick 4s are difficult! Hope you find the analysis worthwhile. Adding or subtracting a horse sometimes can influence you toward a winning wager.

The first question to answer this week is: Do you rate #5 Swiss Skydiver in the second leg as a single? If so, where will the wager’s value appear? #2 Decorated Invader looks best in the first leg, but maybe not a cinch. If you can beat him, the ticket becomes more interesting. If you can beat #5 Swiss Skydiver, and that’s a big ‘if,’ value is yours.

Saratoga Race 8—Saratoga Derby Invitational

#1 Bama Breeze woke up in his second start for trainer Rusty Arnold at Churchill. He’ll need to improve on that to win this. He finished behind #7 Field Pass in his last 2 races.

#2 Decorated Invader can’t be overlooked in here. He’s won 5 of 7, including 2 of 3 at Saratoga. At 2 he won the Gr. 1 Canadian Summer Stakes at Woodbine over yielding turf. Recently, he’s scored back-to-back Gr. 2 wins—one at Belmont and one last out at the Spa. Jockey Joel Rosario is unbeaten on his back, by coming from well off the pace and by stalking leaders. A solid 4-furlong bullet turf breeze is a great sign. He had trouble in his last race and a return to either of his first two this year would fit.

#3 No Word is the only runner in the field to have traveled further than the mile and three-sixteenths distance-- next to last time out, third going a mile and one-quarter. He’s looking for his first stakes win for trainer Todd Pletcher and jockey Jose Ortiz. His best race came last out, as he made a slight forward step through his maiden-breaking figure. He’ll probably need another forward step to win this but it’s not impossible, especially with these connections.

#4 Domestic Spending hails from the Chad Brown stable and retains the services of jockey Irad Ortiz. Those are all positives. He’s lightly raced with just 3 starts, but he has 2 wins. His lone loss came last out in the Gr. 2 Hall of Fame at Saratoga when he finished behind a few common foes in this race. He needs to do better than he has before but Brown and Irad work wonders on Spa grass.

#5 Gufo, like #2 Decorated Invader, hails from the Christophe Clement stable. That outfit was sizzling hot earlier this meeting but, at this writing, is in a bit of a slump. Like #2 Decorated Invader, #5 Gufo is a win machine. He’s been successful in 4 out of 5 starts, including a win last out in the Gr. 3 Kent Stakes at Delaware Park. He’s improved a great deal since his 2-year-old season, but one wonders how much more forward movement he’s got left in the tank. A repeat of his last fits but he’s not at Delaware this time.

#6 Colonel Liam takes a step up in class after a powerful tally in his first turf start—a Spa first-level allowance win. Trainer Todd Pletcher is on a roll this meeting and Javier Castellano is the jockey. It’s notable that Irad Ortiz moves from here to #4 Domestic Spending. This guy needs to move forward in here to win but improvement isn’t out of the question. He’s sharp and dangerous, even moving way up in class.

#7 Field Pass Is a multiple Gr. 3 stakes winner from the strong Mike Maker barn. He won the Transylvania Stakes last out at Keeneland and has a first and second in 2 Spa tries. He’s the most experienced runner in the race with 11 starts and 5 wins. Both his last and next to last races—an ungraded Churchill Stakes—were strong but the rest of his resume is below par in this field.

#8 Get Smokin figures to show the way early in here from a far outside post. He hasn’t won a race since breaking maiden nearly a year ago. He’s also been defeated by #2 Decorated Invader in 2 of his last 3 outs and has finished behind both #4 Domestic Spending and #7 Field Pass.

Saratoga Race 9—Alabama Stakes—Grade 1

#1 Envoutante hails from the dangerous, bomb-producing Ken McPeek stable. A win by this filly would require a bit of an explanation to certain owners because McPeek also saddles the favorite in #5 Swiss Skydiver. This filly is working well, including a nice bullet :47 2/5 training track blowout. She’ll need to do a bit better than ever before.

#2 Spice is Nice ran a corker last out for 33% winning trainer Todd Pletcher, getting back to her best race earlier this year. She’s fast enough to challenge favored #5 Swiss Skydiver, but she lacks seasoning. She’s a slight threat.

#3 Crystal Ball is a Bob Baffert trainee who tried hard last out in the Coaching Club Oaks, missing by a mere head to Paris Lights. She’s improved a great deal this season and may not have another forward move in her. Then again, she’s a Baffert and she has speed.

#4 Bonny South is improving with each start for trainer Brad Cox, who’s had a great year but not an outstanding Spa season, so far. Irad Ortiz rides this Munnings filly who didn’t fire much in the Gr. 1 Ashland at Keeneland last out. She has won 3 of 5 starts, including the Gr. 2 Fair Grounds Oaks. Could be that she’s sitting on a big one here.

#5 Swiss Skydiver is the most accomplished of this bunch with 4 wins in 8 starts, including multiple Gr. 2 scores. She has speed and that usually puts her in a great position. Last out, in the Gr. 2 Blue Grass against males, she finished second to Art Collector, the talented recent Ellis Park Derby winner. Before that she won 3 consecutive graded stakes at Gulfstream, Oaklawn and Santa Anita. She’s clearly the one to beat and those willing to topple her might argue that she’s raced quite a bit already this season and may be ‘over the top.’ The Alabama is a mile and one-quarter, longer than any in this field have travelled. Usually, longer races, especially at classic distances, go to the most talented in the field. If that’s the case, she’s a single.

#6 Harvey’s Lil Goil comes into this race off a series of nice works off a Gr. 3 turf victory at Churchill. Her best dirt races, including one that was incredibly fast, came at Aqueduct in December and February.

Saratoga Race 10 –Allowance Optional Claiming

#1 Maxwell Esquire romped last out in his first start against elders. He has a first and a second in two Spa turf starts. He’s sharp but will need further improvement to win this race on the rise in class.

#2 Shiraz was 0 for 9 last season and is 2 for 2 this year—7 furlongs turf at Belmont and 5 1/2 furlongs on turf at Saratoga. He’s got speed and has a win over the Spa turf course. This 6-year-old gelding was claimed for $35k from Mike Maker off a layoff. Maker then promptly claimed him back for $25k in his next start. He’ll need to fire his best to win in here.

#4 Call Me Harry has been off since November but ran well first time out so he can run well fresh. He’s a 4-year-old gelding from the lower profile Kelsey Danner outfit. He starts first-time Lasix and is 2 for 2 at the Spa—all positives. He’s been training steadily at Palm Meadows. He’s got lots going on this time out and must be included.

#5 New York’s Finest is a 6-year-old gelding facing fellow state-breds for the first time in a long time. He’s run races fast enough to win this and has Irad Ortiz aboard to help him. He loves Saratoga and is 4 for 6 on the Spa lawn and 9 for 17 at the distance.

#6 Valmont, #8 Royal Asset and #9 Bustin Shout finished third, second and first, respectively, the last time they ran this type race at Saratoga. Only 2 1/2 lengths separated this trio and they all were relative longshots at 13-1, 13-1 and 6-1, respectively. #9 Bustin Shout made the lead in the common race and held on at the finish. #6 Valmont stalked the pace but couldn’t follow through. #8 Royal Asset closed from fourth to just miss. They all could be used on larger tickets in the following order of preference: #9 Bustin Shout, #8 Royal Asset and #6 Valmont.

Saratoga Race 11— State Bred Maiden Claiming

#4 Bricco was second at this level last out and hasn’t been off the board in 3 tries, a level of consistency others in here can’t boast. He should be just off the pace and get first run on the leaders.

#6 Michael’s Bad Boy was second at this level two back and is a steady campaigner who’s produced similar Thoro-Graph figures in each of 4 starts over 2 seasons. He could jump forward today and that would make him the winner. He doesn’t have much speed, so he often goes wide. That’s a bit of a drawback, but there seems to be some pace in this race to set up a late charge.

Both #8 Mommies Jewel and #9 High Tone have run well enough to be added to larger tickets. Prefer the former over the latter based on number of starts. #8 Mommies Jewel has had just 3 outs, 2 on turf, including a close third last out behind #4 Bricco in second. There may be some improvement in him. Less likely to jump forward is #9 High Tone from the Mike Maker barn, ridden by Irad Ortiz. One back he finished third behind #6 Michael’s Boy in second at this level and trip. He’s made 6 lifetime starts.

Brian Nadeau's Daily Picks

Saratoga - Race #3

#3 Reed Kan	Pace player enters off two straight at Belmont for a Kantarmaci barn that is 3-for-11 here at the meet, so he's picking his spots, and this one has the ability to sit just off what looks like a hot pace, and get first run on the others; hat trick time.
#4 Skyler's Scramjet	Classy veteran found yesteryear last time, when he won for 25k here in a performance that was a surprise, so if he's on the upsing he'll be tough, but you're allowed to wonder if he regresses off such a come from nowhere effort; still, plenty scary.
#7 Mad Munny	Stalker/closer has been running on turf of late but has some solid prior dirt form to fall back on, and they figure to be going fast early, so if it falls apart, it's not impossible that he picks up a very big piece of this in the lane; the one to fear late.
Race Summary	You won't get rich on the 3 but he just looks like the now horse, and one who has been pointed to this all along, so play him aggressively to win, while getting some built-in value by keying him in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well, since that will allow coverage in some of the deeper surrounding legs.

Saratoga - Race #5

#11 Beach Front	Price player had a trip two-back on dirt, and you can toss the turf run last time, so with clear sailing from this outside post, he can surprise; upset special.
#3 Fevola	Stiff class dropper will be bet hard for Brown, and this weaker company should wake him up, but there's no doubt he'll be an underlay as well; second-best.
#10 Brazen	Heavy ML favorite wins with his best, but just ran 2nd for 40k and is now in for 16k, and has run just three times, so the flags are up; tread very lightly here.
Race Summary	You're going to get value galore on the 11, as the 3 and 10 are going to bottom out the board, but both have major knocks, and at least the pick is in form off the dirt run, so play him in all the slots, and especially to end the early Pk5/Pk4, as budget players won't be using him, which means a win would go a long way in adding a ton of value to the end of both sequences.

Saratoga - Race #10

#1 Envoutante	Price player rates as the other McPeek, as her 'mate will take all the play, but the CD win two-back was sharp, she'll get some pace to rally into, figures to like the trip more than most, and catches a whole different set of circumstances than the short finish line 3rd in the Kee GI last time; mows them all down late.
#5 Swiss Skydiver	Deserving heavy favorite has been a dynamo in the 3yof ranks this year, winning a trio of graded stakes around the country, so she doesn't need to take her track with her, and the 2nd to stud 3yo Art Collector in the GII at Kee last time was big, but there's pace here, so she may come up wanting late; backwheel time.
#6 Harvey's Lil Goil	Tricky read was up in time in a good GIII on the turf at Cd last time, but she does have a few decent dirt runs showing too, though they don't measure up with the chalk, or even some of the others, so you're playing her on the come here if you believe, and probably not getting the right price either; exotics appeal only.
Race Summary	You'll get plenty of risk-reward on the pick, as she'll get overlooked in lieu of her stablemate, along with a few others here, but she should trip out, and has the running style and pedigree that may like this 1 1/4-mile trip more than most here, so give her a look in all the slots, and especially in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well, since a win would go a long way in blowing both sequences up.

Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks

Laurel Park - Race #3

#3 Righteousness	Always a chance the West Point money makes this guy an underlay, but it's well worth trying to get past the chalk in this spot, and this guy might do better with the local company.
#1 Flatter Me	No doubt the one to beat, but he doesn't exactly show up every time he heads to post. The softer spot should serve him well, but 4/5 ML price goes for a barn that is 0-for-9 here the last three years. Let him beat you.
#7 Jolly Welshman	Blinkers go on after the modest debut run, but the equipment change gives him some chance to do a bit better in an iffy race for the level.
Race Summary	Flatter Me comes off a good run at Saratoga that can make him tough here, but he has never backed up a big run and is surely overbet here. Righteousness is worth a look off the bench with new scenery.

Laurel Park - Race #8

#6 Battlebus	Races off the claim today after a chase and fade effort, but he has some back runs that have shown finishing ability, and that might serve him well in a spot with plenty of other pace.
#7 Francatelli	Can't argue a whole lot with that maiden win, but he'll have some company near the top in the early going today and is probably overbet.
#1 Padrino's Heart	Rail draw might make things tricky, but his best stuff would do the trick here. That said, the 3/1 ML offering isn't all too appealing on the hike.
Race Summary	Battlebus looks the part of a potential upsetter in a race that may be coming apart late. He finished well locally from off the pace two starts back and can play with these with something similar.

Laurel Park - Race #9

#2 Hair of the Dog	Toledo has gone off in turf races the last couple weeks, and this one goes off the Potts claim, giving him enough upside to make a dent at a fair price.
#5 Cool Hand Coop	Tactical type has had 11 chances, so he's short on excuses, but he has faced better company than this and is the one to beat at an underlaid price.
#3 Extremelyexclusive	Has faced some better groups in Florida and has a big claim on the top spot here. He doesn't have a particularly serious finishing gear, and that's the main knock on him.
Race Summary	Hair of the Dog can flash pace for his new connections, and there is a little bit of upside while changing barns this time around.

**Can'tPickAWinner** · 08-15-2020, 08:13 AM

Frank Carulli's Daily Picks

Pocono Downs - Race #1

#7 NY WHITESOX	Knows how to win, suspect he will be put into play earlier.
#2 SAULSBROOK DEPUTY	Rallied into fast pace, out-kicked by deep closer for victory.
#3 BEACH PRO	Just missed after odds-on fave broke stride, pocket trip could be in store.
Race Summary	NY Whitesox could get the jump on his main rivals despite drawing another outside post and could go a long way at a tempting price. Play 7-2 and 7-3 exactas in hopes that he notches his 25th win.

Woodbine-Mohawk Park - Race #1

#2 OH SO PINE	Took money in return, lacked running room throughout.
#9 DUNBAR HALL	Classy 6-year-old desperately seeking confidence-building win.
#6 THOR DE VIE	Ranged up on pace-setting fave but faded in open company at Batavia.
Race Summary	Oh So Pine showed speed off the gate, settled 3-deep on the rail, lacked running room until he swung 5-wide in mid-stretch and finished willingly in the back of the pack. He’s worth a longshot stab in his second start after six months away. Play a 2-6-9 exacta box.

Northfield Park - Race #4

#2 SETIT AND FORGETIT	Can stalk and pounce off solid pace, use in all gimmicks.
#8 UBANJI	Lost at short prices in last three, live longshot with Merriman.
#1 SPIRIT BELL	Mare is piling up the checks this year, ran second at this level two back.
Race Summary	Setit And Forgetit, no threat in a fast race last week, ranged up first over and faded two starts back at this level. He should sit an ideal stalking trip and sustain a similar-type move. Play a 1-2-8 exacta box.

**Can'tPickAWinner** · 08-15-2020, 08:14 AM

Jerry Shottenkirk's Daily Picks

Gulfstream Park - Race #10

#2 Quenane	Has taken on strong runners lately and has won four of his last six; can improve off his last one, when he was fifth in the Sea Trophy Stakes. Can score vs. these.
#3 Harvey Wallbanger	Didn't get going and was sixth in he Sea Trophy but has some top-notch efforts to his credit and his best puts him right there.
#4 I'm a G Six	Has been get good in his five very since being claimed by the Rodriguez barn; lost by a nose at this level last time and fits well.
Race Summary	Quenane has class, likes the track and will get a good trip from just off the pace; can get the jump on deep closers and can finish up well.

Gulfstream Park - Race #3

#5 I'm More Ready	Closed well and just missed last time out in his first at this level; fits well with these and can be a solid play at this distance.
#2 Congrats That	Has the speed to control this early on and has been losing ground late in his late threat; may have something left in this one.
#3 Legal Deal	Willing to mix it up on the front end and has survived battles for the win in his last two; O'Connell stable doing well late.
Race Summary	I'm More Ready gets a fast pace to follow and can uncork a serious run at the leaders in the stretch; the one to hold off.

Gulfstream Park - Race #6

#4 Sky Chaser	Has been a consistent close this year and was a half-length from winning last time; is a four-time winner over the strip and has the talent to be the one to beat.
#5 Misschief Maas	Has been unsuccessful in much stronger races than this and can be dangerous with a late charge in this one; expect serious improvement.
#6 Don't Get Khozy	Ran evenly in a tougher spot and was a non-threatening fourth in the Azalea; won two in easy fashion just prior to stepping into stronger ground and can get back to good form.
Race Summary	Sky Chaser runs well here and can get a good trip close to the pace today; usually has something left for the finish.
