I don't think so. There are so many things that go on during a race that being one or two paths out further than desired is not that big a difference to me. I'd rather be outside an extra path and be in the clear than be on the inside and maybe having to steady or be blocked in.

If you think you have the best horse. You try to prepare him to run his race and not to depend on luck, If you have the best horse the only luck is bad luck.The best way to avoid bad luck is to be on the outside.
