colonialtom · I love the competitive spirit of Gio Ponti and wish him well. I remember the Va. Derby win as a highlight as long as the near BC Classic win when Zenyatta overtook him at 12 to 1. · 406 days ago ·

Castleton Lyons

Running a horse until they are 7? That's what I call real racehorse managing! And it paid off too. With a record like Gio Ponti's they can't do bad. They saw he was a late bloomer, and raced accordingly.

medlocke · Personally, I'm glad to see that Gio Ponti is going to stay in training and race again in 2011. I'm also glad to see he's going to get another crack at the 2011 Dubai World Cup. As he was the best finisher of all the horses, 4th, that shipped to Dubai strictly for that one race. However, I do think that Gio Ponti, and any other big name horses that may ship over to Meydan again for just the Dubai World Cup may very well encounter the same problem that they had in 2010. The main track at the new Meydan facility is now synthetic. Tapeta to be precise. No longer conventional dirt like the old Nad Al Sheba facility was. That brings world class turf horses into play for the World Cup too. Plus, in the 2010 Dubai World Cup. The top three finishers in the race, Gloria De Campeao-winner Lizard's Desire-2nd and Allybar-3rd were all three horses that showed up and raced from the very beginning of the Dubai Racing Carnival in late January. All three had at least 2 or 3 win's under their belt at Meydan prior to running in the Dubai World Cup. I suspect the 2011 Dubai World Cup may very well end up that way again. JMO. · 911 days ago ·

icyhotboo · Was it really a surprise. At least he has a very good shot at Goldi while none with Z... This also brings up another interesting question. They must not think much of his chances for second or third or why pass up a payday of 1.2mil for second to Z or 750 for 3rd. Again is QR for real? · 934 days ago ·

gardenesque1 · It was a suprise because he ran 2nd in the '09 BC Classic. Gio Ponti's connections must have figured that he could not handle dirt so they opted for the BC Mile this time around. Quality Road is the real deal, but can he handle a mile and a quarter? That is the question. · 934 days ago ·

blooy · gio ponti is just a better turf horse is all, has nothing to do with facing big z. good luck to her. yes, qr has a chance, he can handle the distance. last years failures were from the outcome of his injuries. he will just have to watch for blame to bounce back. · 934 days ago ·

icyhotboo · In the mile I'm giving Candy very serious consideration. Horse racing is all about speed and ability to carry it over distance and he really burns up the track at a mile. How do you close on a horse who finishes as strong as he starts as in record time. · 934 days ago ·
