Cash Me Out cashed in in the $15,000 Open Trot on Sunday afternoon (April 17) at Saratoga Casino and Raceway.
The Kyle Spagnola-trained trotter was first over in the 1-1/16 mile feature, but toughed out the wide journey to prevail in 2:01.4 with Jimmy Devaux in the sulky.
Cash Me Out had recorded victories at Yonkers Raceway and The Meadowlands this season, but Sunday’s win was his first local score of 2016.
Slugfest (Jay Randall) continued his strong spring as he was the runner-up to Cash Me Out after following that one’s cover throughout the race. Soul Train (Bruce Aldrich Jr.) earned the show spot.
Cash Me Out was the race’s 2-1 favourite in the betting and started an exacta with Slugfest that paid $30.20. The triple came back $106.
The five-year-old son of Cash Hall is owned by the Traylor Racing Stable.
