Those numbers are completely misleading as the inside posts were dominant early in Derby history but since the reconfiguration of the track, the inside has been considered "death" by horsemen. As stated earlier, Ferdinand won in 86 from the #1 post, before that was Chateaugay in 1963. Regarding the outside, Gato Del Sol won from the 18 in 1982 and the gelding Clyde Van Dusen won from the 20 in 1929.
