While Take Charge Indy showed speed in his synth debut maiden win, he had been rated in most of his starts, before the Floriday Derby. Based on the inside post, and the importance of saving ground on the 1st turn at GP, there was little doubt they would send him that day. Does not mean he will be on or near the lead in the Derby, IMO.

You're right, he very well should be up there.

Agree he can rate. In his last two starts under Borel, however, he has been let loose on or near the lead, and I could see that being the strategy in a 20 horse field. But I do see what you mean. I guess he's got options depending on where he finds himself as the race unfolds.
