Basically - according to the numbers - in 1 out of every 50 or so turf races - a horse breaking from post position 10 is best but doesn't win solely because of its draw. There's a big sample size behind that.

She's basically starting with a bit of a disadvantage - sometimes they can work good trips out from there .. other times things happen where the tiny disadvantage turns into a much bigger one ... I don't think that draw is a big factor but it sure doesn't help her.
