DOH! I knew I should have waited just a few more days!

Spark of Life spelled

SPARK of Life has been sent to the paddock, with jockey Glen Boss disappointed after the Sydney-trained sprinter's second flop in as many starts in Melbourne.

Spark of Life beat only one runner home in the Carlyon Stakes at Moonee Valley on Wednesday night- a follow-up to his fifth of six in the Rubiton Stakes on January 7.

"He didn't jump out of the gates like he normally does and took a while to get going," Boss said.

"He was gone a long way from home, which was out of character.


"He hasn't come back to form and he'll now go for a spell and maybe come back for the Brisbane winter."
