I went out of my way to say he's not a historically good American turf horse and then you post this? He'd have no shot against Kitten's Joy or Artie when they were at their best. Unfortunately, Kitten's Joy really only had one big season, of course, it was a terrific season.
I don't think Gio Ponti would match up all that poorly with English Channel. In fact, I think they are somewhat similar save that BC Turf win from EC that was just a very strange race.
