Quote:
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.

I personally feel the top earners should pick their post in order, horses like Teaufflesberg and I'mawildandcrazyguy just got in by the skin of their teeth, accordingly they should have the last two positions. I want to see a good race, not one with the best contenders against the 8 ball before the gate even springs.
