Cash Me Out loves to win and did what he loves once again on Sunday afternoon (April 10) at Saratoga Casino Hotel, winning the $15,000 Open Trot.
The Kyle Spagnola-trained trotter is one of the winningest horses of all time at the Spa and the veteran is showing no signs of letting up. With one victory under his belt in 2022, Cash Me Out was back into the featured race for trotters last week when he finished fourth. On Sunday afternoon, the 11-year-old was the 2-1 second-choice in the wagering and flashed early speed to get the lead with driver Phil Fluet at the controls. Cash Me Out cruised unopposed through a first half in :59.4 and really felt just mild pressure after checking in a three-quarters in 1:28.3. The millionaire high-stepper then kicked away turning for home while under just mild encouragement from Fluet to secure another victory in the Open stopping the timer in 1:57.1.
The win was No. 71 in the career for Cash Me Out, who is owned by Mike Traylor of Ballston Spa, N.Y. Longshot Bold Creation finished second while Gigfy earned the show spot to hit the board in the Open for the seventh time in his eight seasonal starts. Cash Me Out paid $6.70 to win and led an exacta and triple that returned $76.50 and $219.50, respectively.
Live racing continues on Monday afternoon (April 11) with a matinee beginning at 12 p.m. (EDT).
