Considering the size of the field -- post #2 has been fine.
2011: Brilliant Speed was 7th from post 2.
2010: Ice Box was 2nd from post 2
2009: Musket Man was 3rd from post 2
2008: Tale of Ekati was 4th from post 2
2007: Curlin was 3rd from post 2
2006: Steppenwolfer was 3rd from post 2
2005: Andromeda's Hero was 8th from post 2
That's seven years in a row where the horse who drew post 2 finished in the top half of the field ... five out of the last six years they've finished in the top four ... and four out of the last six years they've finished in the top 3.
Aptitude was a clear 2nd from post 2 in 2000. Real Quiet wore saddle cloth #2 but he actually broke from post 3.
I won't mind posts 1 or 2 if a deep closer gets it.
