I have always felt that it would be more fair to use another system, not a random order draw. They have strict rules to follow to get into the race, governed by the graded stakes earnings. But once you're in when it comes to the post position its just totally random order.
If it were me I would have two tiers. The top ten money earners would participate in a random draw for the first 10 post positions.
Then the bottom ten money earners would select in random order for the remaining ten positions.
Any system that allows Storminmay to choose first has to be changed imo.
