Much ado about very little. This game is difficult and complicated enough without making it more so. Look where the starting gate is and look where the first turn is. Game over.
The people on this board seem to be, by and large, pretty sophisticated horseplayers. I can\'t believe any of you would get off a horse you really liked because he drew Post 1 or Post 20 or anything in between.
The show is coming on in about twenty minutes and I don\'t think I\'ll stay home to watch it. The trainers will make all the right noises and say they want something in the middle but none of them are likely to scratch unless they\'re asked to start in the parking lot.
