Post positions were drawn for this Saturday's Whitney Handicap in the paddock this morning. From the rail out, here's what it looks like:

1. Mine That Bird, Calvin Borel, 12-1

2. Blame, Garrett Gomez, 4-1

3. Quality Road, Johnny Velazquez, 2-5

4. Haynesfield, Ramon Dominguez, 12-1

5. Jardim, Julien Leparoux, 30-1

6. Musket Man, Rajiv Maragh, 6-1

Currently processing video from the post-draw remarks from the connections and will have those to you shortly. But some preliminary observations: Todd Pletcher and Johnny Velazquez both very pleased with the draw for Quality Road. Velazquez just worries about the weather - says Quality Road struggled with the wet tracks last year at the Travers and Jockey Club Gold Cup. Al Stall happy with the draw for Blame and says the race should set up well for this horse. Everyone commented on Mine That Bird, with Calvin Borel aboard, drawing the rail. Wayne Lukas says he has last year's Derby winner as ready as he can get him for the race; he's tried to put some more speed in the gelding, and says he'll need to use it Saturday to stay in contention.
