Gimme The Cash cruises to Vernon feature win.


Gimme The Cash (Chris Lems) wins the featured trot ($6,000) at Vernon Downs Saturday night (October 14).  Lems wins four on the night.

Gimme The Cash (Cash Hall) sprinted to the front right out of the gate, playing catch me if you can.  Owned by William Ballard Mdacs and trained by Angus Mac Donald, the 6 year-old mare would put up all the fractions, :28.3, :58.0, 1:27.1, 1:56.0.

ABC Crown Me Queen (John MacDonald) would follow in the pocket the whole way but had no answer in the stretch finishing third.  Ulysses Bi (Truman Gale) came up late to finish second.

Gimme The Cash ($2.90) picked up win number four on the season and career victory number 17.

Lems would win three others on the night.  First win came with Mansome ($2.90).  His second victory was with Stubble Trouble ($5.80).  His last win came after the feature with Ladyyouaregorgeous ($11.20).

Live racing returns to Vernon Downs on Sunday night (October 15).  It features eight Excelsior "A" finals for a combined purse of $360,000.  All part of a 14 race card that starts at 6:45.
