FLORENCE, Ky. - In terms of big-money races, it had been a long time between proverbial drinks for trainer Glenn Wismer. The 27-year veteran enjoyed his peak season in 1992, when Luv Me Luv Me Not won the Kentucky Oaks, but his stable has pretty much been off the radar in subsequent seasons.

But when Beautiful Bets held off La Reason to win the $128,500 on Saturday, Wismer had his richest victory since Antrim Rd. won the $500,000 Illinois Derby at Sportsman's Park in 1993. Beautiful Bets, a 15-1 shot, got a perfect trip under Willie Martinez to win the Grade 3 race by a neck.

Carolina Sky continued her love affair with the turf course at Louisiana Downs, as she won for the fourth time this meeting in capturing the $100,000 River Cities Breeders' Cup. Candy Ball challenged the winner turning into the straight of the 1 1/16-mile race for fillies and mares but had to settle for second, followed by More than Promised and Space Cruise.

Misto Quente could not have had a more fortuitous finish in the $100,000 Kelso at Delaware Park, catching the pacesetting Angelic Aura by a head in the final jump while simultaneously holding off the fast-closing We Can Seek by a head and a nose.

Auguri, the even-money favorite, pressed the pace for a half-mile in the 1 3/16-mile race, then dropped back and finished last in the field of six.

Misto Quente, coming off a second-place finish behind Auguri in his previous start, went off as the fourth choice in the betting and paid $15.80.
