Sanchez nearing a decision on Social Inclusion
|
Owner Ron Sanchez is continuing to field offers to purchase three-year-old sensation Social Inclusion following his record-setting allowance win over Honor Code at Gulfstream Park on Wednesday. Sanchez, who runs under the stable name Rontos Racing Stable Corp., said Friday morning that he hoped to have a decision made this weekend. "We haven't made a decision yet," Sanchez said. "We are still receiving a couple of good offers, one comes from the Middle East and the other one is here. They are bidding, so we are going to wait at least 24 hours." Originally in training with Jeff Bonde in California, Social Inclusion was moved to 85-year-old trainer Manny Azpurura's barn at Gulfstream in mid-December and had seven local works before a 7 1/2-length debut victory on February 22. The Pioneerof the Nile colt returned with a 10-length triumph over highly regarded Remsen winner Honor Code in 1:40.97, topping the 1 1/16-mile track record.

Sanchez said part of the negotiations include his keeping partial ownership
as well as retaining Azpurua as trainer. Azpurua won more than 3,500 races in
his native Venezuela before moving permanently to the United States in 1978. He
has never started a horse in the Kentucky Derby, but brought Set 'n Go to the
race in 1974 on behalf of his brother, Leo.
"That is something that we are working out," Sanchez said. "We are definitely
going to keep a piece of the horse. We won't sell the whole horse."
Sanchez has mentioned the Wood Memorial on April 5 as the goal for Social
Inclusion's stakes debut.
