He has scratched horses in the past because of the outside post draw. I think one of them was either Gamine, or one of his fillies from a year or so ago. There are a few others, too -- and it always happens outside of home base. It doesn't really speak volumes of his confidence in the horse, as a good one will overcome the post. There is more to it, obviously.
