I dont think its that big of a deal like the KY Derby where they actually show it anywhere. As far as I know, they draw posts like any other race and you read about it on equibase when they have the positions. Especially this year, when there is no big name horse that people would actually tune in to see what nimber he draws.
Going to make for a nice betting race and thats usually not been the case in this race. I can think of only 1 horse who has won this race this decade thats paid over $10- Birdstone. Maybe Unshaded too, cant remember his price. Every year it seems to be the most logical result. A la Street Sense, Bernardini, Flower Alley, Point Given, Ten Most, Lemon Drop.

it seems that post position draws are increasingly drawing a lot of interest.
is there a bigger non-event than a post position draw?

This website has really good coverage all day and they make the opening of the gates a key story. Its hilarious seeing people running in all directions, pushing and shoving.

Hope things are well with you Curt.

Why are people so concerned with watching the draw on tv? Do you think you have mind control powers or something? They will break from whatever post they get and it will be on the bloodhorse within 30 minutes of the actual draw. This isn't exactly the Kentucky Derby.
