Take Charge Brandi (foaled 7 February 2012) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse. A descendant of the outstanding broodmare Take Charge Lady, she was one of the leading juvenile fillies in North America in 2014. After winning only one of her first five races she sprang a 66/1 upset when winning the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies and followed up with victories in the Delta Princess Stakes and the Grade I Starlet Stakes. After winning a listed stakes race early in 2015, a bone chip in her knee, discovered prior to her anticipated start in the Rebel Stakes, took her out of contention for the Kentucky Oaks. Returning to the track in August 2015, following two lackluster performances, she was retired in September, 2015.

Take Charge Brandi is a chestnut filly with a broad white blaze bred in Kentucky by the Charming Syndicate. She was sired by Giant's Causeway who won six Group One races in Europe and was named Cartier Horse of the Year in 2000. His other progeny include Ghanaati, Footstepsinthesand, Shamardal, Rite of Passage and Aragorn. He was Leading sire in North America in 2009, 2010 and 2012. Take Charge Brandi's dam Charming, was the first foal of Take Charge Lady who has also produced the Grade I winners Take Charge Indy and Will Take Charge. Trained by Todd Pletcher Charming won on her debut at Keeneland, but sustained a serious injury at Monmouth Park in July and was retired from racing. Take Charge Brandi is her second foal.
