BELLAFINA TABBED DOINGS: LONG RANGE TODDY TUNES UP M-L OAKS FAVORITE Willis Horton Racing LLC.=s Long Range Toddy (Take Charge Indy), winner of the first division of the GII Rebel S., completed preparations for Saturday=s GI Kentucky Derby with a four- furlong work in :47.80 (5/40) Monday at . He galloped out five furlongs in 1:01.20 and six furlongs in 1:12.40. The Steve Asmussen trainee will need to rebound from a sixth- place effort over a sloppy track in the Apr. 13 GI Arkansas Derby, but a victory Saturday would make 58-year-old Jon Court the oldest jockey to win the Kentucky Derby. AThat would be a beautiful thing,@ Asmussen said. AJon gave him such a dream trip in the Rebel. Hopefully, we can recapture some of that magic Saturday. Hopefully, we=ll have a fast track like we had [Monday] morning. He worked beautifully this morning.@ Cont. p5

The TDN has polled some of the top riders in the history of the sport and asked them to answer this simple question: If given a choice of any of the 20 starters in the GI Kentucky Derby who would you choose to ride? Today, we ask Pat Day. AI would probably pick Omaha Beach (War Front). For one thing, he ran very well in his last couple of races and he showed a new dimension in dropping back and then coming on. I also liked the way he worked the other day and you can=t ignore the fact that Mike Smith picked him. I have the utmost respect for Mike and his judge of horse flesh. That he picked him would play into my decision making. His running style for the Derby is just fine. The reason why we Long Range Toddy | Coady Photography haven=t seen any deep closers win in a while is that the better Gary and Mary West=s Maximum Security (New Year=s Day) horses in the fields of late have had tactical speed.

AThey=re getting the last [half-mile] when the horse is breezing a slow mile,@ Servis said. AThat=s something that probably needs to be addressed at some point.@ Undefeated in four starts, Maximum Security is coming off a front-running victory in the Mar. 30 GI Florida Derby. Of the colt=s training regimen of longer open gallops, Servis said, AI think it was after his second race that I took him off the rail so to speak and started doing the open miles. It=s just a maintaining thing, trying to avoid injuries that would set us back. Maybe in a fast breeze there is more risk than what I=m doing.@ Maximum Security is expected to ship to Churchill Tuesday.

That same trio also looks set to be represented by European Free H. winner Shine So Bright (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) in the QIPCO 2000 Guineas on Saturday. In a race so frequently dominated by the offspring of his sire Galileo (Ire), Australia has a clutch of sons going forward for the Derby at this stage, including the impressive Broome (Ire), who brushed his rivals aside with consummate ease when coming from last to first in an eight-length rout in the G3 Ballysax S.
