Default Fountain of Youth ???

I am curious as to if there is a post bias from the #12 post at 1 mile at Gulfstream. I know at 1 1/8 it makes a big difference, but how do you think it will affect THIS ONE'S FOR PHIL???

I think the outside post is the better place to be. There are only horses inside of him and therefore there is no chance of getting squeezed. That's a perfect stalk and pounce spot. On the other hand, I am very reluctant in betting the 1 post in an elongated sprint ( 7f - 1m at GP )because a horse can duck into the gap between the gate and the main track. Also, an inside horse's hand is forced in having to gun it if he is a speed horse on the rail.
