Post will have no baring on Borel getting the rail out of the gate. He want be gunning to get position but taking back. Now comming home could be different and the inside might be blocked and he will need to make the right decision as far as where the hole will be or ifhe needs to get outside. SS seems to have the trait when presured from the outside he does his best running.Most horses dont like to be pinned on the rail comming down the stretch but SS finds another gear. This might just be a result of the way his races have unfolded. He has shown that he has the heart to win where some of the others have shown talent but none the heart that SS has shown when he faces the chalange.
