If it were me I would have two tiers. The top ten money earners would participate in a random draw for the first 10 post positions.

Then the bottom ten money earners would select in random order for the remaining ten positions.

Any system that allows Storminmay to choose first has to be changed imo.
I disagree. Why should it matter what post Storm in May chooses? If the favorite is such a great horse, he should win regardless, right? Do you really think the best position (which is what, by the way?) is going to give Storm in May a chance to win? Nah...

This is the fairest way of doing it IMO.
