 A dandy was Sande | The San Diego Union-Tribune
Sande was so tall the other jockeys called him "Longback." His riding style was based not on aggression but finesse and an uncanny ability to communicate with horses.

Sande's later years were touched by personal and financial difficulties, but they included highlights like a brief riding comeback in 1953 at the age of 54 and induction into the racing Hall of Fame with its inaugural group in 1955.
