Default 10/30 Notes: Rumors have Gio Ponti leaning to lawn
Indications are that Gio Ponti is now leaning back towards a run in the Mile..

I spent the moring catching up on HRTV's Pursuit of The Cup series. Gary Stevens said his "sources" told him he would be going in the Mile. Which suprised me, i thought they were decided on the Classic.

Yes, and I'm happy when people make jokes about it.

The operative word being people. What species have you morphed into?

It should.

I understand them wanting to run him in the BC Classic.
What I don't understand is how they didn't give him a dirt trial run somewhere during the course of the year.
Especially the way some dirt G1's came up soft this year.

Default Hughes could miss BC trip to contest jockey title
Richard Hughes has raised the prospect of missing the ride on Paco Boy in the Breeders' Cup Turf Mile on Saturday to remain in Britain and continue his fight for a first jockeys' championship.

Should Hughes elect to stay in Britain and miss the ride on Paco Boy, Ryan Moore would pick up the ride according to trainer Richard Hannon.

Not necessarily.. Hughes, 37, has a chance for what he thinks will be his only riding title. It's something that means a tremendous amount to him and to a rider's resume in the UK.

It is pretty impossible to win one of these right, because there are guys that ride two tracks, afternoon and night, and commute all over the place?
