Ben’s Cat tied a Jim McKay Maryland Million record by winning the $101,000 Turf Sprint for the third straight year Saturday at Laurel Park.

Toting 128 pounds, the highest weight he has ever carried, the 6-year-old Ben’s Cat ($2.80) got a perfect trip sitting behind dueling leaders Boltin’ Out and Steady Warrior. Ben’s Cat responded when asked by Julian Pimentel and withstood a late charge by the 10-year-old Heros Reward to win by three-quarters of a length. He covered 5 1/2 furlongs on firm turf in 1:01.64.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – In winning the Grade 1 Madison at Keeneland on April 12, Groupie Doll vaulted to the top of the female sprint division. Six months later, her reign continues.

Saturday in the Grade 2, $200,000 Thoroughbred Club of America at Keeneland, she notched her fourth consecutive graded stakes victory, cruising to a 6 1/2-length score over Strike the Moon.

ELMONT, N.Y. – As far as trainer Chad Brown was concerned, Noble Tune hit all the right notes when he won his debut on closing day at Saratoga.

Obviously, the victory was nice, but the fact Noble Tune won without earning an off-the-charts speed figure was just as good, Brown said.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Getting a savvy ride from Javier Castellano, Bridgetown wore down front-running Great Mills to post a length victory as an odds-on favorite Saturday in the 16th running of the Grade 3, $150,000 Woodford Stakes at Keeneland.

Calmly reserved just behind a fast clip while saving ground, Bridgetown angled out for the stretch drive of the 5 1/2-furlong turf race before gradually getting the better of Great Mills. It was another half-length back to Chamberlain Bridge in the field of six older horses.

Jonathan’s Girl rallied along the rail and drew off to an emphatic 7 3/4-length victory in the $75,000 Ligature Stakes for Pennsylvania-bred fillies and mares Friday night at Penn National Race Course.

It was the first stakes victory for the 5-year Jonathan’s Girl ($11.60), owned by trainer Steve Klesaris in partnership with Marcia Cohen. In her only previous try against stakes company two starts ago over a sloppy track at Parx, Jonathan’s Girl finished seventh. Overall, she is 6 for 14 lifetime with earnings of $264,942. She ran six furlongs in 1:09.65.

Harry Vega collected the 4,000th win of his career when he scored aboard the 2-year-old maiden claimer Moonshot Monkey ($4.60) in Friday night’s fourth race at Penn National Race Course.

Vega, 47, began riding at Hazel Park in Michigan in 1983 and currently competes at Penn National and Laurel Park. This season, he has 70 wins in 509 starts for earnings of $2 million. He is best known as the regular rider of the filly Xtra Heat, who won five graded stakes in 2002 including a trio of Grade 2 events.

Trainer Tom Amoss reiterated Saturday that Sum of the Parts is “only a maybe” to run back Nov. 3 at Santa Anita in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint. Sum of the Parts earned an expenses-paid berth in the race by virtue of his gate-to-wire triumph here Friday in the Grade 3 Phoenix Stakes, a race for which he earned a career-high Beyer Speed Figure of 97.

In the Stars will start in a turf stakes in November after winning for the first time in the United States in an allowance race over a mile on Friday.

Ridden by Corey Nakatani, In the Stars ($3.40) was fifth early, took the lead with a wide move on the turn, and pulled clear to finish 3  1/4 lengths in front of Mary Fildes.

Beulah Park in Grove City, Ohio, will begin its 89th year Monday.

The barn area is filling up and racing secretary Ed Vomacka is optimistic about the 44-day meet.

“Entries have gone really well so far, and we expect that to continue,” Vomacka said. “We have quite a few outfits coming from Thistledown, so it will really pick up when they are finished up there in November, I would think.”

Beulah is switching to a four-day racing week for the meet, and Vomacka sees that as a huge plus for the racing office.
