Random draw. They changed it last year from a system where a Horse was drawn and the connections had the option to pick the post.

No don't like the 20 spot.He can still win as 2 of the last 5 winners have had the far outside post and 3 of last 5 came from aux gate but hard to take single digits.Will still use him but now looking toward Danza/Medal Count over Wicked Strong ,Hoppertunity,and Intense Holiday.

PPs still not up yet so nothing set in stone

thats what i call a brain fart, i was thinking post numbers.. ....da

as far as your comment about battag....morning lines, what do you like the most and whats the worst, i think wicked strong 8-1 should be higher, cc 5/2 to low then you go to hopp at 6-1 i was watching some past derbys, and i saw that if you have post 16-20 and some speed, its not that bad, post 1-5 your buried, ....at least with wicked strong he should stay out of trouble....
