Based on what? Who in this Country is 100% better then him right now? At best you could name 3 horses, and thats even pushing it.... How is he not the clear cut second best older male in training, and if he came along a year earlier he would have won the Older Male title last year, you cant tell me he would not have crushed Bullsbay, and Macho Again on a regular basis. Nevermind... He did beat up on them, as a 3yr old.

See Dougie's post on finding overrated horses.

overrated---------Gio Ponti

underrated--------Quality Road

If this was a year with no smack talk between Zen and Rachel, Q Road would truly be front and center with no equals.

Gio Ponti sometimes just barely good enough and other times not, BC champ race might have made many believe he was better than he really is.

I'm a moron but you just reminded me of something...

When I was doing this thread, before I was interrrupted? Gio was my pick for overrated and Wiener Walzer (GER) for underrated.

Stupid kids making me blank out!

Granted his 2010 has been rather underwhelming thus far but Gio Ponti's 4 race winning streak in 2009 in Grade I races from 8-11 furlongs was awfully strong.

It's tough to have an underrated/overrated list when most horses are so bad.
