QR is just defying any logical understanding for knowledge of quality horses, owner and trainer of same. I'm left speechless about QR. Anybody have any thoughts on what the H*** happened? He is just such so much more better than this. UK has just released their world rankings and STS is #1, of course. But the rankings are interesting. Queen Z has RA beat by a couple of placings, but Goldikova has Z beat by a couple rankings too. Interesting. Good points, by all who have posted….and Cris, excellent notes.

How strange a year is it when fillies and mares totally top the rankings? Instead of fighting over Z & RA lets look at everybodys body of work and see how this thing shakes out. I love the efforts of Gio Ponti and thinks he deserves alot of respect. He should win turf horse. What a talented and wonderful horse Quaility Road is and how sad and upsetting it is that he is so messed up right now. I hope he travels well and gets over his CA. trip.

And, what Life is Sweet did on Friday, flatters Zenyatta's greatest even more.

Certainly he'll win an eclipse for turf horse, and he may just take down older male. (and why shouldn't he?) Mary, I don’t think the wonderful Gio will be forgotten.

Talk about a horse who danced every dance (even though he didn't win everything). It's a shame that such a fine animal is being virtually forgotten in all the hoopla. I'm not disparaging either of the great fillies, I just think Gio's accomplishments deserve a lot more recognition than they're getting. I’m a sucker for Gio Ponti.
