ROUNDUP : Takin On The Cash Wins

Takin On The Cash, the 4-5 favorite, won the $335,000 Dash for Cash Futurity at Los Alamitos Sunday and became the nation’s top 2-year-old quarter horse money winner.

Trailing by three-quarters of a length at the halfway point, Takin On The Cash edged Four And Two at the wire to win $121,600. The victory pushed Takin On The Cash’s earnings this year to more than $300,000.

“He really needed that extra 40 yards,” trainer Caesar Dominguez said. “I thought we were going to finish third or fourth at the second call.”

Time for the 400 yards was 19.73 seconds, the second-fastest mark in the event’s history.

Salsabil became the first filly since 1900 to win the Irish Derby for 3-year-olds at Dublin.

Ridden by Willie Carson, Salsabil--winner of the 1,000 Guineas and the Epsom Oaks--moved past Deploy in the final furlong of the 1 1/2-mile race and won by three-quarters of a length.

Salsabil, the 11-4 second choice owned by Sheik Hamdan al Maktoum, was timed in 2 minutes 33 seconds.

New York state legislators in Albany pulled the plug on live horse racing broadcasts to hundreds of off-track betting parlors and race tracks in New York by failing to extend a simulcasting law.

The law, in effect for five years due to regular extensions, expired Saturday.

Legislative leaders insisted Sunday that simulcasting would be quickly restored through a new law and that simulcasting probably would resume Monday. That provided little consolation for racing fans on Sunday, however.
