Supposedly they did some work on the track prior to the Classic where Bernardini and Invasor both raced outside.

My view is that both extremes are wrong. There are some people that think there was a huge inside bias because of all the 1 post winners etc... and others that think there was no bias because a few horses ran well outside and the figures didn't suggest an extreme bias.

I think the rail was the best place to be (over and above ground loss), but the bias wasn't strong enough to dictate the results (like on many days this winter on the Inner Dirt at Aqu). It was only strong enough to influence results between horses of similar ability.
