Gio Ponti has drawn the No. 6 post position for Saturday's 28th running of the Arlington Million on the turf at Arlington Park.
The draw was announced Tuesday for the 1 1/4-mile race for 3-year-olds and upward.
Gio Ponti, last year's winner, will attempt to match John Henry's feat as the only two-time winner of the Grade I race. Gio Ponti, at odds of 7-5, is the prohibitive morning line favorite. In four races this year, the 5-year-old has won once and finished second twice.
Just As Well, in the No. 4 post position, is the second choice with early odds of 5-1, while Tazeez is 6-1 from the No. 9 post. Quite A Handful is the longshot at 30-1.
Preceding the Million are two other Grade I turf races: the $750,000 Beverly D. and the $400,000 Secretariat Stakes.
