Re: Harness racing post position bias
Saratoga is a half mile track...4 turns...meaning if you are parked outside you travel further. Inside posts will always have the best win percentage in the long run.
5/8 mile tracks have 3 turns...inside posts still have a big advantage although not nearly as much.
7/8 mile tracks and 1 mile tracks like Woodbine and Meadowlands have 2 turns and at those the number 1 post is often harmful. Post 5 and 6 regularly are the best at those tracks.
