You can't Win the Kentucky Derby in the Post Position Draw but many
horseman believe you can lose it at the Post Position Draw.. In today's
Video I break down the value of Post Positions in the Kentucky Derby. I
also discuss the 3 different racing styles of horses and what style
isbest suited to win the Kentucky Derby..
Below is a chart that
represents the number of Kentucky Derby Winners by Post Position.
Although #1 post has won the most Derby's it is no longer the best place
to be and is explained in today's Video. Note that Kentucky Derby
didn't always have the large fields that it has today. In fact over the
history of the Kentucky Derby the average field size has been 12.46 and
there was even 2 years that there was only 3 horses entered. So when
looking at the chart below the inside post positions will have more wins
just because they have had way more starters.
