Post Position Draw List

[whodey17]

bad luck so far for Great Hunter and Any Given Saturday. Street Sense got lucky and so did hard Spun.

Well 3 of my top horses are going last. . . this sucks. . .

Well Curlin draws 16. So he is going to get 1-2-3 or 19-20. Not good for him at all.

I'm glad Curlin got a bad draw from a betting standpoint. . . I won't be as worried about tossing him now. . .

I would think the 3 hole wouldn't be that bad for him

was just going to say the same thing, maybe not ideal but certainly not a big issue. If he loses post position won't be the reason.

The horse (Curlin) is so frail (in my opinon) that he would get crushed if he is down on the inside. No way can that horse survive all that physicial abuse he will get. I think the outside is the only option for him.

I think you are really exagerrating things. What post position is safe from bumping in the derby?

You obviously haven't seen Curlin in person...far from "frail."

With only a couple exceptions, if I take my derby ranking list and invert it, it comes pretty close to the post position draw list.

My picks are screwed.

Same here, Jim. . . I feel like all my preparation just got thrown out the window. . .
