Saratoga Open Trot Sunday to Cash Me Out

Cash Me Out (Cash Hall) cashed in in the $15,000 Open Trot on Sunday afternoon 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 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 favorite in the betting and started an exacta with Slugfest that paid $30.20.

The triple came back $106. The five year old Cash Me Out is owned by the Traylor Racing Stable.

Live racing resumes on Thursday at Saratoga with a first post time set for 6:45pm.
