Expect The End

[The Indomitable DrugS]

I had to toss in a Say Florida Sandy race from 2003, getting his "nine year old nose on the wire first." in a six hour tape of races I made for KC.

He not only ran from ages 2 through 9....but was at least stakes placed every single year. And a stakes winner at ages 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 9. That was one kick ass race horse.

Different owner than who's been talked about here, but i loved that horse.

John Rotella is/was the owner of Say Florida Sandy after he was claimed by trainer Juan Serey, I believe. Sanford Bacon is the breeder.

He was my nemasis for a while---he beat me out of a few nice scores. One with Wake At Noon on Belmont day, among many, comes to mind.

Expect the End is by Precise End, who was a very hot NY sire before being exported. Thus, she's pretty well bred for a "true" NYB. I presume that in addition to NYB races, she's Stallion Series eligible. She may have to wait but will be able to run for $45k in allowances by fall. Meanwhile they may try to take some smaller stakes w/her at B and C level tracks.

It will take all of Dutrow's magic to move this horse up enough to win a stake at any level track. Very slow bunch.

Chuck, have you seen some of the Stallion Series'? Dutrow has plenty of magic anyhoo. Plus, they run $40k and $50k 2yo stakes at FINGERLAKES as well.

You are right, they can be bad.

I figured I'd dredge this conversation up. Expect the End was 2nd in the Coleen at MON, then won a restricted NYB stake at Saratoga and won the Joseph A Gimma on Sunday at Belmont. She cost $1200 at the OBS sales last August, was claimed for $30k and has now won over $130k in total.

Oh, and Say Florida Sandy was raced by Sanford Bacon.
