At 0h42, on November 27, 2024 • By Ken Weingartner, USTA Media Relations Manager

Captain Albano will head to the final start of his career Wednesday as the morning-line favorite in the $267,960 Progress Pace at Bally’s Dover, where he will meet seven rivals in the season’s last Grand Circuit event for 3-year-old male pacers.

Last week, Captain Albano and driver Todd McCarthy won the single Progress Pace elimination by a half-length over Better Is Nice in 1:49.4. Captain Albano was a first-over third heading around the opening turn, took the lead on his way to a :54 half as he repelled a challenge from Nijinsky, and came home in :27.4 to wrap up the victory.
