An outside post would not be the end of the world for him either. In fact I think the PP draw is not that important in the derby. Except maybe for 1-2 and 19 and 20.
While I agree PPdraw shouldnt hurt Curlin, when he draws one of the post you say that can be a problem will be what is available to him.
