Saratoga Springs, NY — Mach Le More A took advantage of leisurely first-half fractions before turning on the jets late and setting a new lifetime mark in Saturday’s (July 30) $16,000 Open Pace at Saratoga Casino Hotel.

With very little speed to test him in the early going, Mach Le More enjoyed first half fractions of :28.1 and :57.2 with Ucanttouchthis sitting in the pocket. The 7-year-old son of Mach Three paced up a :54.3 storm in the final half, powering away to win in 1:52 in line to Leon Bailey. Ucanttouchthis (Brett Beckwith) finished a solid second while Somebeach Baron (Shawn Gray) earned the show spot.
