LEXINGTON, Ky. – Gio Ponti, the three-time champion who finished fourth in Saturday’s Breeders’ Cup Mile, has been retired and will stand at Castleton Lyons, the Lexington farm that also raced him. He will have a fee of $20,000 in his first stud season.

Gio Ponti’s fee will be payable Nov. 1.
“We are delighted to welcome Gio Ponti back home to the farm where he was bred and raised,” Shane Ryan the president of Castleton Lyons, said. “The horse has had an amazing racing career with seven Grade 1 wins, three Eclipse Awards, and in the money 23 out of 29 lifetime starts.”
Gio Ponti retires with a record of 12-10-1 from 29 starts and earnings of $6,169,800.
Ryan said Gio Ponti retires sound.

Facing a shallow field of maiden-20 for fillies and mares, second-time starter MISS MADDIE BEE can be long gone at a short price. She dueled through a hot pace before tiring in her maiden-40 debut, but now shortens to five and one-half furlongs, drops to the bottom, and figures to clear the field. Adios. AWESOMEKAYLEE has a pair of good-looking gate works the past two weeks, and makes her career debut against a shallow group. Sired by Awesome Again, she is the first foal out of 9-for-38 mare Getcozywithkaylee. LOVE MY GIRL was well-backed in her comeback, but lost her rider.
