Cape Blanco - 2011 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Invitational (G1) [02:57]
Odds-on favorite Cape Blanco narrowly retained his unbeaten record in the United States, holding off longshot Dean's Kitten to take the 35th running of the Grade 1, $500000 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic on "Super Saturday" at Belmont Park. A well-traveled 4-year-old, Cape Blanco shadowed Mission Approved in second placed through fractions of 52.42, 1:19.37, 1:44.92 and was put to a drive by jockey Jamie Spencer after dispatching the pacesetter midway on the second turn. The favorite took a clear lead into the stretch but was tested to the wire by Dean's Kitten, whose rally fell a nose short. Trained by Aidan O'Brien, Cape Blanco completed 1 ½ miles on yielding turf in 2:36.61 and returned $3.20 for a $2 win wager as the 3-5 favorite.

Ask the Moon - 2011 Ruffian Invitational (G1) [02:06]
Jockey Javier Castellano put the finishing touches on a winning weekend at Saratoga Race Course on Sunday afternoon, piloting 18-1 longshot Ask the Moon to a front-running victory in the Grade 1, $250000 Ruffian Invitational Handicap, the rider's third graded stakes win in just over 24 hours. Castellano, who swept the Spa's Saturday stakes with Stay Thirsty in the Grade 2 Jim Dandy and Zagora in the Grade 1 Diana, put Ask the Moon in front coming out of the gate and led the field of seven fillies and mares through an opening quarter-mile in 23.61 and a half in 46.92. As Super Espresso, favored Payton d'Oro and Tiz Miz Sue began to mount their bids behind her on the turn, the 6-year-old daughter of Malibu Moon opened up through the lane, hitting the wire 5 ¾ lengths clear for her first Grade 1 victory. Her winning time for the 1 1/8 miles was 1:50.46.
