Saratoga Springs, NY – Cash Me Out did what Cash Me Out does on Monday (Aug. 30) afternoon at Saratoga Casino Hotel. The ten-year-old veteran recorded yet another victory in the Open Trot in the matinee’s feature.

The winningest horse in the Open over the course of the last several seasons, Cash Me Out left at the start but got shuffled a bit in a first half that went in a sizzling :55.4. The longshot leader Gigfy (Alek Chartrand) began to tire around the final turn and when pocket sitter Bold Creation (Jimmy Devaux) slid to the outside, Cash Me Out closed sharply up the rail and came on to win in 1:56.4. Bold Creation, the longest shot on the board, finished second while Gigfy held on for third.
