Ridden by Herb McCauley and carrying 113 pounds, Mistaurian had to go wide at the turn but easily won the race for older fillies and mares, returning $9.40, $3.80 and $2.10.

Feel The Beat, ridden by Chris Antley, led until Mistaurian’s move and was three-quarters of a length ahead of favorite Fantastic Find under Craig Perret in the field of five. Spotty Hot and Wonchindordor were the trailers.

Mistaurian, owned by Bernard Chaus, covered seven furlongs on a fast track in 1:25 1/5. Her third victory in six starts this year was worth $50,040.

Jockey Rick Moss suffered an ankle injury when his mount, Phoenix Sunshine, stumbled and fell, causing two other horses to go down during the $109,900 Locust Grove at Churchill Downs.

Dibs, with Aaron Gryder aboard, was well outside the pileup and drew off for a two-length victory over City Crowds.

Dibs covered the 1 1/8 miles over the turf in 1:50 3/5 and paid $15.80, $5.60 and $2.80.

Clever Trevor, ridden by Don Pettinger, made his turf debut a successful one at Arlington International Racecourse, winning a $28,000 allowance race over one mile in 1:36.1.

The victory was the second in a row this year for Clever Trevor and increased his lifetime record to 12 victories in 19 starts. He has earned $1.05 million.
