Post Position - The Simple Way

I’ve put together a short post this week to demonstrate a simple way to determine the Post Position for a horse. Last week I provided details on how Post Position enters into Track Bias and handicapping, and showed examples on how to get Post Position from the Horsegrader Race Shape screen. Recently, I was reminded that all you need to do to get the Post Position is to hover over the Program Number of the horse on any Horsegrader screen. The following pop-up will appear:

Note that although the Program Number is 4, the Post Position for Knight Train is 3. My trick for getting Post Position for a horse is to hover over the name of the horse so the following pop-up will appear:

Post Position appears in the header along with a ton of useful information including the trainer, jockey, record, etc. Now, wasn't that easy?
