Spinarama (Cam’s Card Shark) became the first two-time winner of the Open Pace in 2015 at Saratoga Casino and Raceway as he scored a wire-to-wire victory in the Saturday night feature.
Austin Siegelman moved the 7-5 co-favorite out to the early lead and got a comfortable first half in 57.4 before pacing away from his rivals to win in 1:53.3. Kid PK (Stephane Bouchard) got the pocket ride and finished second in his first career try in the local pacing feature while co-favored JD’s Caleb Man (Billy Dobson) had to settle for third.
Spinarama pulled off the upset in the $18,000 Open Pace two weeks ago when he pulled off the upset at odds of 19-1 for Siegelman and trainer Chris Marino. The win was one of three on the night for Siegelman who currently sits fourth in the local driver standings.
Live racing continues on Sunday afternoon at Saratoga with a first post time set for 12:45pm.
