tapit for instance..... with an inside post.... only four career starts, over 100k screaming fans, stuck in behind twelve horses, all kinds of mud flying in his face, and stretching out to 10f for the first time..... too much to handle. take out the stuck in behind other horses, and a lot of the mud hitting the other horses instead of him, and i think the cleaner trip compensates for the ground loss. i know many sheet handicappers don't think that way, but i would imagine that is what was going through dickinson's mind..... now a horse like pro prado, with seven career starts, two of them in the mud..... i would imagine he would have handled an inside post better.
