The post positions were drawn Thursday for the 62nd running of the $1 million 1 1/4-mile Big 'Cap on Saturday. As expected, four of the heavyweights of the handicap division were entered, making this the best race for the older horses so far this year. The only horse missing who was expected to run is defending champ Malek.
