Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 25, 2019 Journalists Share Posted March 25, 2019 LONG RANGE TODDY (c, Take Charge Indy-Pleasant Song, by Unbridled’s Song) O/B-Willis Horton Racing, LLC (KY). T-Steve Asmussen. Lifetime Record: GSW, 7-4-1-1, $851,125. Last Start: 1st, GII Rebel S., OP, Mar. 16 Next Start: GI Arkansas Derby, OP, Apr. 13Equineline PPs. KY Derby Points: 53.5. Despite a 4-1-1 record from seven starts that includes three stakes wins (and never losing by more than two lengths) Long Range Toddy is a capable, under-the-radar sort who has a pedigree to run well at Classics distances. His winning trip in the first division of the Rebel S. was pretty impressive: This Take Charge Indy homebred broke on top, settled comfortably at the rail to concede the lead, and held his position well while the pack shifted outside of him. Then in the stretch he adeptly shifted, two, three, and eventually four paths wide to avoid getting caught on heels while finishing with purpose to gun down 2-5 fave Improbable. He has a decent foundation of five two-turn races, but is likely to start at another underdog price (he’s never been favored) when he goes in the Arkansas Derby.
