Dubai Sky jumped up to take the Spiral by 2 1/4 lengths on the Polytrack at Turfway Park after acing the Jan. 24 Kitten's Joy Stakes on the turf at Gulfstream Park, both part of a four-race win streak. The Candy Ride colt, bred by Besilu from the Chester House mare House of Danzing, is a full brother to grade I winner Twirling Candy and had been a late Triple Crown nominee.
