Mark Weber, driving Miss Budweiser, earned his first unlimited hydroplane victory, winning the Las Vegas Cup in Boulder City, Nev.

Mark Evans, driving PICO American Dream, finished the two-mile oval course on Lake Mead first after passing Weber on the final turn, but was docked a lap for hitting a course buoy on the inside of the oval.

Influent’s victory in the $400,000 Man o’War at Belmont Park in New York was a bittersweet one for trainer Howie Tesher, whose lifelong friend, Richard Kumble, a co-owner of the 6-year-old gelding, died Wednesday while undergoing open-heart surgery.

Influent was ridden by Jerry Bailey and paid $5.80.
