At this point, if you still aren't familiar with the horses, you probably shouldn't be wagering on them. I would feel comfortable making preliminary selections already. I don't feel like jockeys and post positions make that much difference in the vast majority of cases. Who needs to look at a post position or a past performance to know what Zenyatta and Music Note are about or to know what Summer Bird or Gio Ponti have done?
