No mention of Moral Compass? Coming off of a win (not many in here with that on their records), a close 3rd in a G3 stakes before that, and ran well on yeilding turf at 2.

That said, this is a one-turn mile, not unlike the Woodbine races of Prussian, so this may be just up his alley. Don't overlook Dynhocracy, who has run well in previous turf races and whose his pedigree (Spend a Buck over Dynaformer) says he should be improving as he grows up. But 8f may be too short for him; his great-grandmummy Persian Tiara loved to beat up on the guys over marathon distances. I watched her win the 13f Seneca H-G3 at Saratoga in heavy ground back in the day.

Okay, my horses were 2nd and 3rd. Story of my life. At least they beat Hatta Fort.

Is this redboarding?

Gio Ponti was a stickout against these horses. Had you played it correctly, you'd have hit the triple.

ALmost there.

He liked Gio Ponti. Doesn't take away the fact that he's a huge douchebag know-it-all blowhard.

Does anyone else think Gio Ponti could be this year's BC Mile winner? If he can move forward with a kick like that... man...
