Horse Racing – Gio Ponti To Be Remembered For Incredible Consistency

Posted December 8, 2011 – 7:31 pm in: Sports

While becoming the best in any given sport requires beating the best on the biggest stage, there is something to be said about a career built on consistency and the ability to remain among the sports betting favorites through the course of it. While we always heard more about horses like Zenyatta, Rachel Alexandra, or even Goldikova during his time, Gio Ponti was easily one of the most reliable options when it came down to laying money on horses, and that consistency defined what was an outstanding career. Gio Ponti was retired following an impressive career that perhaps never got the attention that it deserved, but as we take a look back now, there is something to be said about such a strong resume.

For those that logged on to betonline and wagered on horse racing over the years, there is no doubt that it was never easy to determine exact winners, as parity has dominated the sport at its highest level over the past couple of years. But with Gio Ponti, there has always been a sense that he would be there at the line when the top horses crossed it, and there is a reason why the horse earned that reputation. With a career record of 29-12-10-1, Gio Ponti had always been considered one of the locks to at least compete for the top spot in the grade one stakes races that it ran according to the pay head bookies, and with three Eclipse awards throughout a career in which he finished off of the board just six times, there is no doubt that Gio Ponti deserved that appointment.
