Gio Ponti 2009 Breeders Cup Odds and Predictions

Written by Brock Lanning

Gio Ponti is a longshot in 2009 Breeders Cup Predictions.

One of the outside contenders to win in Breeders Cup odds on Saturday is Gio Ponti. The horse is listed at +1400 on the morning line which makes him the co-fourth choice in the Breeders betting. Gio Ponti knows how to win big races as he won the Arlington Million earlier this year. Many people consider Gio Ponti the best turf horse in the country and Breeders Cup predictions show when a horse wins on the turf, they have proven to win on synthetic tracks. Gio Ponti is a four-time Grade 1 winner who is trained by Castleton Lyons. Christophe Clement is the trainer of this talented horse who won two of his first three starts. He is 2-for-2 this year at a mile and a quarter which is the same distance as the Breeders Cup Classic.

"I think the excitement is really starting to build on the farm. I see it in everybody," said Tobias Incollingo, farm manager for Castleton Lyons. "Everybody is getting nervous, palms sweaty every day. The reality of it is sinking in because it is such a special thing, not only to have one in the Breeders' Cup Classic but to have bred the horse and raised one like him." Gio Ponti was 2nd in the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic last month at Belmont Park. Before winning the Arlington Million it was Gio Ponti winning the Man o’ War Stakes at Belmont, the Woodford Reserve Manhattan at Belmont and the Frank E. Kilroe at Santa Anita. Ramon Dominguez is expected to get the mount in the Breeders Cup Classic aboard Gio Ponti.

Gio Ponti was very impressive in the Arlington Million winning that race by more than 11 lengths. Gio Ponti is getting some respect in Breeders Cup odds as he is listed at +1400. Other possible longshot horse to pair him with would be Quality Road +1200, Mine That Bird +1800, Richard’s Kid +1800, Colonel John +2000 and Einstein +2000. The favorite in Breeders Cup predictions is the unbeaten filly Zenyatta who is +300. She is followed by European star Rip Van Winkle at +200 and Belmont Stakes winner Summer Bird at +450. Post time for Breeders Cup odds is expected to be 6:45 pm Eastern on Saturday with the race televised live on ESPN.

Lanning's Breeders Cup Predictions: Gio Ponti could be the dark horse in 2009 Breeders Cup odds but I don't think he is good enough to mix any exactas or trifectas with the favorites Zenyatta and Rip Van Winkle. Although the horse has been true on the turf, my Breeders Cup predictions are to pair Gio Ponti in a few longshot trifectas with Mine That Bird, Colonel John or Twice Over. Bet Gio Ponti +1400 in 2009 Breeder Cup predictions at online racebooks.
