but you guys would no better then me

when handicapping i always thought one of the things to put into the equation was post position
am i right in assuming that?
so if im right, then explain this to me im listening to the draw today for the oaks and as soon as they get done with it tthey go to mike batagglias morning line within a minute of the draw/
so obviously he already had his odds before the draw and therefore the draw doesnt mean much to the odds?
i would think a horse with a post postition of 6 and is 8 to 1
would have his odds go higher if he drew post 14
am i right in assuming that or just smoke and mirrors/
thanks again

Battaglia probably had a few morning lines ready. If none of the favorites were completely compromised he just went with One of the scenarios he already produced. The Oaks draw as stated above because of the distance and fewer horses is much less important..
