Saratoga Open To Cash Me Out

Published: June 29, 2021 10:01 pm EDT

Cash Me Out is a veteran performer that has been winning Opens for years at Saratoga Casino Hotel.

The 10-year-old trotter was at it again on Tuesday afternoon as the Kyle Spagnola trainee went coast-to-coast in the $14,000 Open Trot.

Cash Me Out worked hard in the early going on Tuesday making the lead in a :27.1 first quarter. After reaching the half in :57, Cash Me Out traveled largely unopposed through three quarters that went in 1:26.2. A first-over Brady Bunch (Steve Genois) fought gamely but proved to be no match for the winner who stopped the timer in 1:55.2 to record his sixth win of the season.

The final time set a new seasonal mark for Cash Me Out who moved his career earnings to over the $1.2 million mark. Brady Bunch toughed it out to be second while Exarch (Jimmy Devaux), who won the previous two installments of the Open Trot, closed to finish third.

Cash Me Out was the 3-5 betting favourite on Tuesday and led an exacta and triple that paid $17.40 and $65.50, respectively. The victory vaulted Cash Me Out into the lead among local Open trotters this season as it was his fourth against the Spa’s top high-steppers. Phil Fluet piloted the Open winner for owner by Mike Traylor of Ballston Spa, NY.

Live racing continues on Wednesday at Saratoga with a first post time set for Noon. The Jackpot in the Pick Six sits at $4,076 while the Jackpot for the Super High Five is $6,926.
