No doubt.
There is a contrarian train of thought that racing officials might be stupid enough to try and play with the track to make it "fair" and you will end up getting a dead rail like on Haskell Day in 2006...when something like seven or eight races were won by the horse breaking from the extreme outside most post position.
If anyone remembers, Prado was on next-out Super Derby winner Strong Contender in that race, and had an inside post. If you didn't know that Prado was hellbent on getting as wide as he could because of the way the track was....you'd have to think he totally lost his mind with the way he rode SC.
If they screw with the track - than you really have to wonder what will happen in a race like Juv Fillies...a race that is over-flowing with sprint speed and begging to be won by something who makes the final run from well off the pace.
