Narrative:
Approaching sayge intersection the aircraft encountered some significant turbulence. In an effort to minimize the pitching trend of the aircraft, vertical speed vice path descent was selected. The published speed at sayge was exceeded due to a late power reduction. No comment or reference to the airspeed was received from the approach controller. Slow response time partially attributable to very short layover with minimum crew rest.

Title: A SPD RESTR AT SAYGE INTXN ARRIVING AT DEN IS EXCEEDED WHILE AN EFFORT WAS BEING MADE TO AVOID TURB.
Narrative: APCHING SAYGE INTXN THE ACFT ENCOUNTERED SOME SIGNIFICANT TURB. IN AN EFFORT TO MINIMIZE THE PITCHING TREND OF THE ACFT, VERT SPD VICE PATH DSCNT WAS SELECTED. THE PUBLISHED SPD AT SAYGE WAS EXCEEDED DUE TO A LATE PWR REDUCTION. NO COMMENT OR REF TO THE AIRSPD WAS RECEIVED FROM THE APCH CTLR. SLOW RESPONSE TIME PARTIALLY ATTRIBUTABLE TO VERY SHORT LAYOVER WITH MINIMUM CREW REST.
