Gio Ponti is everything we don't have enough of in this sport...wins over five seasons, always showed up (never beaten more than 4 lengths in his 17 losses, 2.5 lengths or less in 16 of them)...

When I first started posting here as PointGiven I was told that 2 lengths in a turf race is a ton. A lot different from 2 lengths in a dirt race. Multiple members said that.
