Trained by Bret Calhoun and ridden by Chuck C. Lopez, the 2-year-old colt ran six furlongs over the fast track in 1:12.46 and returned $9.40, $5.40 and $3.20. It was the second win in three career starts for Visionary Ruler, who broke his maiden in his last race at Monmouth Park in August.
Dancing Lion returned $12 and $5, and Irish Politics paid $2.60 to show.
