OZONE PARK, N.Y. -  A disappointing year came to surprisingly successful conclusion Saturday for trainer Pat Kelly at Aqueduct when Spa City Fever upset the $75,000 Alex M. Robb Stakes by a head over Icabad Crane. Sent off the second-longest shot in the seven-horse field at 34-1, Spa City Fever returned $71.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - Another big name whose scheduled work got cancelled as a result of the four breakdowns during training hours on Saturday was Breeders’ Cup Sprint runner-up Force Freeze.
