‘Rising Star’ Carl Spackler Back On Top In Kelso

[Wandering Eyes]

'TDN Rising Star' Carl Spackler (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) put a disappointing performance in last month's GIII Poker Stakes behind him with a gritty win in Saturday's GIII Kelso Stakes at Saratoga. Poised to strike from just off pacesetter Talk of the Nation (Quality Road), the favorite came alongside that rival off the far turn, wore him down and finally got by in the final yards to win. Mysterious Night (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), the morning-line favorite, scratched Saturday morning. Lifetime Record: 8-5-1-0.
