I don't think it's an abbreviation. 位 means "position".

I think it's an abbreviation of 好位置. Ref: "好位"は、"好位置"、つまり「良い位置」の事で、競馬で使う言葉です。"

A bit specific, but it looks like there is a clear definition. Apparently a horse has a good chance of winning a race if it is in 3rd, 4th, or 5th place in the middle of the race.

I know nothing of horse races though. This is based on the sources mentioned above.
