Cash Logistics likes to run off the pace, and it makes for an exciting finish, but it can be nerve wrecking for his connections. Ridden by Jockey James Graham, the Indiana sired son of Unbridled Express prevailed with a hard-fought finish to the wire in the seventh running of the $75,000 Sagamore Sired Stakes at Indiana Grand Wednesday, June 17. He delivered the first career stakes win for trainer Genevieve “GiGi” Londono.

Starting from post eight in the 10-horse lineup, Cash Logistics was unhurried out of the gate in the six-furlong contest. Maters N Taters and Eddie Perez established the pace up front with Nates Heartthrob and Santo Sanjur sitting right at their heels. Halfway through the turn, Cash Logistics had moved into fourth and was preparing for a stretch run to catch the leaders.

At the top of the stretch, it appeared Maters N Taters would keep everyone behind him, including race favorite Cash Logistics. Maters N Taters had a three-length jump on the field. Cash Logistics had his work cut out for him to catch the leader. Graham went to work on Cash Logistics and never backed down as the sophomore gelding continued to make up ground. Late in the race, Cash Logistics had momentum built up, moving in to capture the win and the title by three-quarters of a length. Nutty Train also closed well to finish second for Malcolm Franklin, just a neck ahead of Maters N Taters.

Owned by Charlie and James Hancock, Cash Logistics scored his second career win in three starts during his 2020 debut. He has been with Londono since the beginning of his career. She currently has four in training at the Churchill Downs Training Center and more babies at the farm who will join her barn soon.

“He (Cash Logistics) has matured quite a bit and he's starting to figure it out,” said Londono, who is in her fourth year of training. “He had some ground to make up, but he did that last time (in the Crown Ambassador Stakes last fall) and just ran out of time. Today, he stayed strong and made a big move at the end.”

Graham likes what he sees so far in Cash Logistics. He feels the three-year-old could have a big future ahead of him.

“He (Cash Logistics) has gotten big and long and tall, and he's still kind of green, which is a good thing,” said Graham. “He just keeps getting better and better. A couple more races, and I think he will be really good. He galloped out well today and I think 'GiGi' will think about stretching him out off that race. He's got a lot of potential.”

Cash Logistics completed the sprint in 1:13.44. A homebred by Charlie Hancock, he paid $4.40, $3.00 and $2.60 across the board.
