OCEANPORT, N.J. – Visionary Ruler led all the way Saturday to capture the $63,200 Jersey Juvenile at Monmouth Park.

The six-furlong race for statebred 2-year-olds was the final stakes of the season in New Jersey.

The 7-2 second choice in the wagering, Visionary Ruler posted a second straight win after missing by only a half-length in his debut.

Visionary Ruler had not run since his maiden win here in mid-August. Trainer Bret Calhoun tried to find a race in between. When nothing filled, he opted to train the son of Pollard’s Vision up to the race.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Strongly-favored Spring Venture remained unbeaten by winning her first start on Polytrack Saturday at Woodbine in the Grade 3, $201,000 Mazarine Stakes.

Shenandoah Lady set a moderate pace in the mile and a sixteenth route for 2-year-old fillies, while Spring Venture had a wide, stalking trip under Patrick Husbands. Spring Venture hit the front at the head of the stretch, and then gradually edged away en route to a 1 1/2-length score, in 1:46.74. Seaneen Girl barely outran the Chicago shipper Every Way for second in the six-horse field.

Vegas No Show outfought Keep the Canoli in a stretch duel to win the $75,250 Dover Stakes for 2-year-olds by a nose at Delaware Park.

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.
