Last at the 1/2 on any 5/8th or mile track. Front end speed bias is not helping the handles. Too much chalk.

The worst place to be is in the back of the pack! Give me third behinds the favs and I'll take it every time! Once you get away poorly you're at the mercy of the pace setters and all the idiots that clog up the outside with dead pieces! Nothing worse than being mathematically eliminated early on!

All depends on what size and what track. On 5/8 I’ll say the death seat is the 4th. On mile track, 3rd is bad spot. On 1/2 with passing lane, again 4th bad spot.

Third place, or third horse that's on the rail? Third place behind the leader and next to the first over horse isn't bad when the passing lane comes up.

been in that situation a 1000 times sitting third comin for home sucks
