Despite a miscue in his last start, Spam Spade has been installed as the 2-1 morning line favourite in the $85,000 New Jersey Sire Stakes final for three-year-old trotting colts and geldings Friday, September 5 at Freehold Raceway.

The gelded son of Dream Vacation has drawn the rail with Andy Miller at the lines in the featured fourth race.

Spam Spade is trained by Julie Miller for the Andy Miller Stable Inc. of Millstone, New Jersey and has banked $41,530 lifetime, finishing in-the-money in seven of 16 starts.

This year, the trotter has been formidable when he has stayed flat but frustrating when he has not. He has three wins and one second in eight starts.

He took his mark of 1:54.1 at the Meadowlands on July 10 but set a New Jersey Sire Stakes and Freehold track record of 1:55.4 in the opening round of the NJSS on August 15.

Bred by Perretti Farms of Cream Ridge, NJ, Spam Spade was a $22,000 Harrisburg Sale purchase.
