Default Einstein vs Gio Ponti

The pp's are now out for the Arlington Million....
Assuming these 2 both run there best race, who is better ?
I give the edge to Einstein... I also like a few Euro's.

GP's last is better than anything Einstein has ever run. I want no part of Einstein here. Not that I really want a short price on GP. . .

Trip-wise though, Einstein is going to get the best of it with his post and where the speed is, I wouldn't toss him at all....

Its a very competitive race in my mind, with the only horses that have no shot are Recapturetheglory, Mr. Sidney, and Presious Passion. I am almost ready to add Just as Well to that list.

How do you think the betting will go ? I can see 4-1 on Einstein.

Have to say if it is firm and there isn't other pace, I think PP can do it again.

Anyone kicking out Presious Passion really needs to take a long look at his races. This is a front runner that's able to ACCELERATE in the lane when the closers come to him. And, this is NOT after running crawling fractions. This horse is able to run a wicked pace and do this. And, he can also duel and do it. And, on more than one occasion he's come back again after being passed in the stretch.
I'm just hoping for a firm course.

I dont remember TFM ever liking a horse this much.
This is at least the 4th time I have saw him tout Presious Passion.

Brass Hat, Proudinsky, Banrock, Quasicobra and Spice Route are not in this race to try and run him down. He wins I will tip my cap to him. I don't even think he will hit the board.

No idea, it pays well though regardless of outcome, I think the pool from last year had 700k in it or something, it was monsterous....

It paid nearly $600 for a dollar in 2007 with Shamdinan, Royal Highness, and Jambalaya.

The pool is usually huge and there's plenty of value to be had.
