So pp2 is not such a bad post after all

[jman5581]

1 either for that matter, I assume that's the 2nd highest overall?

Do those numbers include the days pre-starting gate?

it's a damn shame horses like Storm in May and Teuflesberg are gonna be taking away the best PP's from actual contenders

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.

Nobody's ever won from 19 I don't believe.

My question is, back in the old days with the flying start, it seemed like post position was less of an issue than a great start.
