In general post position is less of a factor in 1 turn races.
The rail is usually a better post than the outside, even in 1 turn races, but it can require that a horse show early speed, because other horses want to show speed and move inside.
If a trainer feels like he has the best horse in the race, and he draws post 10, he may say he wanted post 10 because it allows his horse a clear start and time to settle.
