OCEANPORT, N.J. - Trainer Ben Perkins Jr. won the inaugural running of the Jersey Shore Stakes in 1992 with Surely Six, when the race was contested at Atlantic City Race Course.
It’s taken a long time, but Perkins finally scored again in the Jersey Shore for 3-year-old sprinters as Well Spelled rallied from last Saturday to beat Cape Cod Canal by 1 1/2 lengths at Monmouth Park.
Rallying widest of all, Well Spelled got his third win in nine starts. The time was 1:11.17 for the six furlongs in the Grade 3, $100,000 stakes. He paid $13.20 to win.
“It took him a while to get the right style,” Perkins said. “Now that he’s got it, it definitely helped him.”
It also was a big effort for Cape Cod Canal, making only his third start while stepping up to a stakes following his maiden win. He launched a three-wide bid on the turn and briefly held the lead at the top of the lane.
Scaramagna was third.
Isn’t He Clever, the even-money favorite, got fourth after taking a hard bump at the break. He recovered to join the pack, but could not find clear running room in the lane.
Wildcat Creek was fifth, with Rass Stone the trailer.

A super runner-up comeback by TRIBAL CHATTER stamps the maiden filly as the most probable winner on the card. Returning from a 10-month layoff, she finished nearly nine lengths clear of third in a highly rated maiden-40. Now meets an apparently modest cast of state-bred special-weights, and switches to turf. No problem. She was sired by all-surface stallion Tribal Rule; her dam produced California Cup Mile (turf) winner Swift Winds. Blinkers on, speed for a pressing trip, pick-six single first leg of the sequence.
