How can I back the Longest Travellers?

Why take note of Longest Travellers?
Transporting a horse to a racecourse is expensive, so if a trainer decides to send one of their horses an extended distance to run, it can point to connections thinking they expect a big performance from their animal.
Armed with this information, many punters believe horses who have travelled the furthest distance to the course are a great selection to place bets on.
The thought process is - why would a horse racing trainer send a horse so far if it did not have a real chance of winning?
