Assuming each horse brought their "A" game, Gio Ponti would have had his hands full if he had faced the likes of Sunshine Forever, Steinlen, Star of Cozzene, Paradise Creek, and Kotashaan, and I don't consider any of those to be Hall of Fame horses.
Every one of those horses you just named would have slaughtered GP, except for maybe Sunshine Forever.

Kotashaan probably should have been a HOF horse.
