Vic you've been calling races for almost as long as I've been alive (31 years now.) If you want to say that RB had the better horse that's fine, true on previous form and on the tote (4.90-1 vs 6.80-1), but you know as well as I do that going to the better post excuse is pretty weak. Almost as absurd as a trainer going to the "cuppy track" argument.
Post positions in 99% of races are irrelevant. One of the few places they aren't, ironically, are at HP at a mile and a sixteenth on the main.
