In deep stretch, Bango was able to hold off the fast-closing Long Range Toddy to win by a 1/2-length.“After the first 1/8-mile, you didn’t want to be standing near me. I thought that was it,” Foley joked. “He broke very slow, but he was able to settle and he made a really fast run around the pacesetters. He absolutely loves Churchill Downs and I’m hoping we can get him into another race here before the meet is over.”Bango was the 4/1 third choice in the Aristides and paid $10.60, $6.40 and $4.40. Long Range Toddy, under Jon Court, paid $16.80 and $10.20.
