It's almost amusing to think that a horse like Gio Ponti .. who has never even raced on dirt before,and has been beaten in each of his last 2 synthetic tries, and each of his last two turf tries is among them.

People are right when they say Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta are great. Without a doubt they are ... but the pathetic collection of quality older males around last year is what made them look like the two greatest female horses of all-time to many people.
that is for sure, one beat macho again and the other beat a grass horse and a bunch of dirt horses that didn't belong on the surface. the hoopla and big race is alot of hype but the sport needs it. the two horses are part benefactors of older horse "apathy". thats how gio ponte won it........what could they say ,"none of the above"????
