For a brief time a while back, some tracks had a rule which was, whatever post position you scratched from, you were assigned that post before the draw the next time that horse raced. Anyone know what happened to that logical rule?

Still applies to all 1/2 tracks in Ontario, if you scratch from the outside post.
