by Joey House - 4/24/2024

by Robert Ferringo - 5/4/2023
The post draw is a critical feature of the Kentucky Derby. It isn’t definitive and doesn’t always trump talent. However, the post draw does have an impact on how horses are expected to run and is factored into the Kentucky Derby morning line odds. The horses in the No. 1 and No. 2 spots can get pushed against the rail and caught in traffic. The horses posted No. 16 and wider will avoid the early race crush but will be forced to run a longer race.
