Watchmaker: Post-position draw paramount in Pegasus

Excerpt:
That’s why I suggested that what happens at the Pegasus draw could, just for starters, change the way the race is bet. I can’t envision any scenario where Gun Runner isn’t strongly favored. But if Gun Runner draws a reasonably good post, I think he’s as big a cinch to be an odds-on favorite as he is to be named Horse of the Year. And good luck beating him. But if Gun Runner draws, say, post 10 or wider, I suspect his price will be higher than even-money, and he will suddenly become a vulnerable favorite.
Makes you wonder if post positions should ever have that kind of impact.
