Gio Ponti was certainly flattered yesterday when Ventura easily won the Woodbine Mile. Wow, that was very impressive and hurt those of us who bet Ferneley

I think Ventura is a much better horse around one turn as opposed to two turns, if I had a choice of choosing one of the 2 had Gio Ponti been at Wdb yesterday, I would have chosen Ventura. She always seems to run lights out when they are going 7-8 furlongs around one turn whereas she may hang around 2.

Funny both winners yesterday finished 2nd to Gio Ponti in recent races.

The difference, however, is that Ventura was best that day. Doubtful GP beats her going a mile with equal trips.
