We are going to select #1 Gio Ponti to win the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic today at Belmont Park. The Joe Hirsch Turf Classic is race 9 on the card today at Belmont Park.

Gio Ponti is ridden by Ramon Dominguez and is trained by Christophe Clement. Gio Ponti is coupled in the wagering with the #1A Winchester but we prefer Gio Ponti to win this one. Gio Ponti is in excellent form nearing the Breeders Cup Turf Classic with four straight grade 1 victories. The four-year-old colt took the Arlington Million back on August 8th and posted a Bris Net speed number of 106. He has an incredible record at Belmont winning 4 of 5 races with a second at the race track.

Play #1 Gio Ponti to win race 9 at Belmont Park 6-5 on the Morning Line.
