Bear in mind that the Derby did not have a 20 horse field from 1986-2004.

I think there's a mistake here. I've got 5 winners from 15/16:

1995: pp 16 Thunder Gulch
1996: pp. 15 Grindstone
1999: pp. 16 Charismatic
2000: pp. 15 Fusaichi Pegasus
2001: pp. 16 Monarchos

are we looking at different lists? ?

Your list is partially incorrect.

1995 - Thunder Gulch (pp 11)
1996 - Grindstone (pp 4)
1999 - Charismatic (pp 11)
2000 - Fu Pig (pp 12)

2001 was correct... Monarchos won out of pp 16.
