Lange managed only one win after breaking his maiden, but he made it in spectacular fashion, upsetting the 2011 Gran Premio Nacional (Argentine Derby, ARG-G1). He had no further moments of glory on the race course and has been a complete bust as a sire.
Race record
10 starts, 2 wins, 1 second, 1 third, 1,020,000 Argentine pesos
2011:
As an individual
A bay horse; no further information available.

According to the Stud Book Argentino (www.studbook.org.ar), Lange has sired only 20 foals, none of which have won.
Connections
Bred by Haras El Mallin, Lange raced for Caballeriza La Pampita. He stood at Haras Don Yeye in 2014-2015, at Haras Santa Lucia in 2016, and at Haras San Blas in 2017-2019.
Pedigree notes
Sired by mutliple Grade 1 winner Aptitude (by A.P. Indy), Lange is inbred 3x4x5 to the great international sire Northern Dancer, the 1964 Canadian Horse of the Year and American champion 3-year-old male. He is also inbred 5x5 to 1957 American Horse of the Year and eight-time American champion sire Bold Ruler and 5x5 to 1966 American Horse of the Year and four-time American champion broodmare sire Buckpasser. He is a half brother to 2017 Argentine Horse of the Year Puerto Escondido (by Hurricane Cat) and Argentine listed stakes winner Surfing Boy (by Hurricane Cat). He is also a half brother to Sunset Beach (by Intérprete), second dam of Argentine Group 2 winner Hawaiian Love.
Surf Point, the dam of Lange, was the 2017 Argentine Broodmare of the Year. She is out of Group 2-placed Argentine listed stakes winner Surfing (by Southern Halo). Surfing, in turn, is out of Surface (by Logical), whose full sister Searching is the second dam of two-time Brazilian champion sprinter Pitu da Guanabara and the third dam of multiple Argentine Group 2 winner Agasias. Surface is also a half sister to 1983 Premio Pedro Goenaga (ARG-G2) winner Surefire (by Salt Marsh).
Sun Cry, the dam of Surface and her siblings, is by the stakes-winning Beau Max horse Solazo out of Culminant, by Eight Thirty’s good sire son Make Tracks. She is a full sister to Sun Song, dam of two-time Gran Premio Maipú (ARG-G1) winner Sumatra (by Farnesio).
