Could make the pace scenario interesting. . . I hope Cool Coal Man ends up getting the rail with that pick. . .

5 Pyro 4
6 Eight Belles 9
7 Anak Nakal 10
8 Court Vision 11
9 Z Humor 12
10 Monba 13
11 Smooth Air 3
12 Adriano 14
13 Bob Black Jack 15
14 Denis of Cork 16

15 Cowboy Cal 17
16 Big Brown 2
17 Tale of Ekati 18
18 Cool Coal Man 1
19 Recapturetheglory 19
20 Gayego 20

a REAL interesting pace scenerio, all the horses I like got good draws as far as choices. Colonel John should have zero excuses now. Brown will probably get 1,2,19,20

AUTO TOSS, ADIOS BIG BROWN!!

Sad that Gayego and Recapture the Glory received the last draws.
I would have tossed those 2 regardless of post position.

I wasn't tossing Gayego, now I might consider.

That is just the order that they get to choose their post position

It's the order they decide what post they want. First come first serve.

I was thinking the same thing. That's the way they've done it in the past. I don't think the post position selection order has been determined yet.. I think that's the "pill pull" order that will determine post position selection order... is this confusing or what? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

All the speed is outside or will likely be....if I'm one of those starting with Bob BJ, I'd take the rail which will probably be one of the latter posts taken. He's going to the lead anyway.

I disagree that 15 is still going to be out there when Bob Black Jack comes around with the 13th pick. IIRC, didn't someone, I'm thinking Bandini/Pletcher, pick 15 because it's the last post in the main gate? I feel like 15 is actually usually one of the first five or six picks in the PP draw.

Supposed to be at 5 p.m., but I'm not totally sure. I don't see anything about it when I push the "Guide" button, and the PTI guys said they'd be on today..
