I know this takes brain cells to understand ....but ..
The track bias is to inside-speed horses.
The 9 horse had clearly the most early speed in the field - he was a speed horse and all drawn inside of him were closers ... because he was sent hard out of the gate - he was able to get to the inside and enjoy an easy lead before the first turn ...
He ran away with the race at 13/1. Where you start from (post position) only matters so much because it's easier to get to the rail when you're starting on the rail. It's hard to get to the rail when you start from a wide draw.
A 120/1 longshot was gunned to the lead in race #1 - got clear early and had enough left to finish 3rd at triple digit odds.
