Hard to believe Say Florida Sandy was 24 already! I saw him race many times. NY bred, right?
He must have been running about the same time as Topsy Robsy.
Topsy ended up at MNR in a $4,000 claiming race. I knew he was fast in his day. I wanted to claim him, but our trainer was afraid to. I should have insisted. I would have given him a long break and brought him back slowly.
At his peak I thought his trainer Gasper Moschera would enter him in the BC Sprint. Maybe he wasn't nominated.
Lots of good horses back then. Fabersham comes to mind. Flat Fleet Feet. Wild Wings was unbeatable on the inner dirt at AQU.
Don't forget Fourstardave -- a Saratoga legend.
So many good ones. Sad to hear about them passing away.
