Never noticed this, but it seems as if when fillies and mares race v males, they
are assigned the outside stalls in the starting gate?
Saddlecloth numbers in Europe are assigned based upon sex, sometimes age and alphabetical. There were 4 F&M in the race, saddlecloths 11-14. Tepin, as last in alpha order was 14, but broke from post 12. The 13 saddlecloth had pp 1. Just a weird way of doing things.
Guess that explains it. Why we\'re here and they are there.
