Spreester scored her second consecutive win in the local Fillies and Mares Open on Friday night at Saratoga Casino and Raceway.
The Paul Zabielski-trained mare has transitioned very well to the Open this season after enjoying two sensational years competing mostly in the New York Sire Stakes.
Spreester (American Ideal) sat the pocket in Friday's $18,000 feature but evacuated the two-hole after chasing longshot leader Looney Dune (Ben Mcneil) through a first half that went in 55.4.
Spreester worked hard to take over the lead and then held off late surges by Campanile (Austin Siegelman) and Bye Bye Michelle (Mark Beckwith) who finished second and third, respectively.
Spreester, who won her previous start at the Spa on November 6th in the Open for distaffers, registered her seventh victory of the season on an unseasonably warm Friday night in Saratoga.
Jimmy Devaux piloted Spreester, who returned $8.30 to win, to what was the 21st victory in 55 career tries for the four year old mare.
Live racing continues on Saturday night at Saratoga with a first post time set for 6:45pm.
