Gio Ponti and Cape Blanco will face each other again in the Grade 1 Arlington Million on Saturday, with Gio Ponti looking to become the second two-time winner ever. A field of 10 will contest the race to be run over a 1¼-mile turf course at Arlington Park. Gio Ponti captured the race back in 2009 and finished a close second in last year\'s Million. Cape Blanco looks strong however, and he defeated Gio Ponti by 2¼ lengths in the Man O War race July 9 at Belmont Park. Mission Approved will be one of the main contenders as he defeated Gio Ponti in the Grade 1 Manhattan in June. Wigmore Hall finished second in last years Grade 1 Secretariat Stakes and is a Group 2 winner in Europe. Zack Hall is coming from France and has yet to win a Graded race, but he did stay on well in the Group 1 Grand Prix de Saint Cloud last out and earned his career best speed rating. Rahystrada breaks from the rail and is coming off a win in the $500K Colonial Turf Cup and might be getting good at the right time. Rounding out the field are Tajaaweed, Deans Kitten, Proceed Bee, and General Perfect.
