It was a day for doubles at Saratoga Casino Hotel on Sunday afternoon (June 11) with several trainers making two trips to the winner’s circle and Kyle Spagnola made one of his trips for $14,500 Winners-Over Handicap feature winning Cash Me Out.
Mitchell Cushing sent the Spagnola trainee flying out of the gate to achieve the early lead. Through panels in :28, :58.3 and 1:27.3, Cash Me Out kept on rolling to maintain his lead. Down the stretch, he fended off challengers from both sides to reign as the feature upset winner in 1:56.2. Favoured Chapheart was second and Makadushin N Cheez finished third.
Michael Traylor owns the 12-year-old gelded son of Cash Hall. It was his 78th win, sending him to $1,409,767 in lifetime earnings. Cash Me Out paid $43.40 to win.
Trainers Kyle Spagnola, Melissa Beckwith, Gary Levine and Phil Fluet all shared in the ‘doubles day’ wealth.
Racing at Saratoga Casino Hotel resumes Monday for a matinee card with a first post of 12 p.m. (EDT).
