It was similar. I had set it so my knee was in the same relative place to the pedal axle as on my road bike with similar leg extension. (I say similar because I had done most of it on the trainer while looking at a mirror to take my measurements.)
The new saddle position on the track bike is lower and farther back that the road bike.
Further back engages more glutes as it closes the hips. I think it's a "big gear" thing as it's good for mashing. More forward enables higher cadences and opens hips.
A long, flat saddle like the Fizik Arione is popular because it allows one to sit back for power or slide up for spin.
