I like to google certain handicapping words and phrases...and see what pops up. Some interesting, some not.
Don't remember how I found this site called runhorse.com, but there I was. I clicked on a section called "How To Win At The Races".
The first section was on post position--with this bit of advice:
"sprint races around one turn usually favor outside posts, while route races (2 turn races) at longer distances often favor inside post positions"
This sounds like EXACTLY the opposite of what it should say. Shouldn't it say "sprint races around one turn favor the INSIDE POSTS,while route races favor OUTSIDE POSTS"????
It sounds like the author may be from the UK, because they use words like "punters" etc.
The author was probably sh*t-faced on Guinness when he wrote it.
-sorry to our UK bros-- that was a little harsh.
