Rebel Prince (Classic Photo) came back off a short layoff and pulled off a shocker in the evening’s $10,000 claiming-conditioned trot. Brian Mattison piloted the 4-year-old for trainer Joe Sansone and came on late to prevail in 2:00.4 at odds of 55-1. With Darron Hall (Jim Devaux) finishing second, the exacta returned a hefty $1,947, the largest of the season at the Spa.

Earlier in the night, longshot pacer Where U At (Stephane Bouchard) prevailed at odds of 54-1. Overcoming post eight, Where U At (Feelin Friskie) scored for the first time since coming to Saratoga in September for owner/trainer Monique Cohen.
