Closing Credits and Corey Braden captured the second leg of
the Nichols True Value Pace on Sunday afternoon at Tioga Downs.
Leaving from
post position number four in a field scratched down to seven, the duo settled
in sixth as Don't Sugarcoat It (Brandon Simpson) led the field by the opening
quarter in 26.4. By the half mile mark of the race, Don't Sugarcoat It was
still in command by the half in 54.3 but the backfield was in motion.
Braden
tipped Closing Credits to the outside and paced a third quarter in 27 to grab
control of the field by three quarters in 1:23. Around the final turn the only
question that remained was by how many and how fast as Closing Credits opened
up on the field to win by five and three quarters in a new lifetime best of
1:51.
Jim Graham trains and co-owns the 3-year-old son of Rambaran
– If You Dare with The Cybo Stable of New

The win was the seventh in 13 seasonal
starts for Closing Credits who remained perfect in the Nichols True Value Pace
heading into the $40,400 final on Sunday, June 9th.
The Green Knight
(Greg Merton) finished second, T'S Electric (Jim Marohn Jr.) was third, while
Bugsy Malone (Jim Meittinis) rounded out the ($14.22) 5-3-2-8 ten-cent
superfecta.
