Kentucky Derby post
position draw announced
 Post
position draws are so vital when it comes to the
Kentucky Derby that online race books and gamblers
alike wait until the announcement is made before
they start posting odds and betting on them,
respectively.
The favorites were
expected to be Brother Derek, Lawyer Ron and Barbaro.
Post 10 has won 10
times, post 5 has won 5 times.
4 through 10 were the
most popular. Last year, 15 was chosen as the
first choice for Bandini. A buffer zone is
created in that area.
The positions were to
be announced shortly and Sports911.com has them for
you.
AP Warrior started at number 10. Giacomo
started there last year.
Bob and John starting
at the number 7 post position. 12 to 1 odds
Sharp Humor take
number 9. Very impressive in the Florida
Derby. Their first choice would have been
number 10. 20 to odds
Barbaro is the 4th
selection and goes to the number 8 post position.

Showing Up has a
perfect record like Barbaro and takes the 6th spot.
