Daveron kicked into high gear in midstretch and wore down pacesetter Tapitsfly in the final yards to win the 23rd running of the Grade 2, $200,000 Ballston Spa on Saturday afternoon at Saratoga Race Course. Ridden by Eddie Castro, the 6-year-old mare broke alertly and settled in fourth along the hedge as Tapitsfly took the field of eight fillies and mares through fractions of 23.52, 47.19 and 1:10.67 over the firm Mellon turf course. Moving into contention on the turn, Castro angled Daveron to the outside at the top of the stretch, where she outkicked the stubborn Tapitsfly to win by 1 ¾ lengths. Her time for the 1 1/16 miles was 1:40.09.
