There is a traditional preliminary pill pull that determines the order the entrants' connections will then select a post position. Ridiculous made-for-TV non-dramatic drama.

We went to the live draw last year and it was a lot of fun! They hold it in the center of 4th Street Live and it was followed by a concert (O.A.R. last year) Lots of great pubs and clubs in that area...overall just a great time. Plus they hand out free Derby stuff like pins and signs.

If anyone has a chance to go this year...I highly recommend.

It is a bit of joke on TV. Here's a bunch of guys that stay out of the lime light on TV acting like they rather be out on the track riding a horse.

They do need to change it somehow. Maybe fun to be there but really it over played and then someone takes too long or picks a post someone has already taken.

Maybe they should do it like American Idol and have fans vote for post position.
