As for meaningful data. I'm not sure what could be more meaningful than the fact that this is now the 4th meet with the renovated track and NO ONE has won from that post. No one, as in 0% winners from there. Couple that with the fact he'll be an overpriced favorite off a turf race against dogs and an off the turf race against more dogs. Boy, sounds like a horse I want to bet.
Exactly, Barbaro beat NOTHING. And BB might be in a similar situation.

Dig deeper. Give me stats with ODDS. Give me some names/races of horses losing from the outside post that actually had a shot to win the race. Even though it's over a 4 year period, I can't believe that there are many races, given the 1 or 2 carded each week.


I agree with the last part. If I'm waiting around to make a killing on BB and then feel skunked when he gets the outside post, I'm definitely in need of a method tuneup.
