Pedigree Analysis

Gio Ponti isn’t bred to relish at 1 ¼ miles on top, but he receives plenty of stamina from his dam and has proven very adept at 10 furlongs, recording wins in the Manhattan (G1) and Virginia Derby (G2) as well as a score in the 1 3/8-mile Man o’ War (G1). Sire Tale of Cat finished second in the 1998 Whitney H. (G1), but he’s known more as a sprinter/miler type, winning the 1997 King’s Bishop (G2) and placing in back-to-back editions of the Vosburgh S. (G1). He ran a mile on the turf in 1:34 4/5 at Saratoga.
