Out of the eight Classics run at Churchill Downs the outside posts have fared well. We have seen two win from post 11and one win from post 12.  Accelerate is the favorite and running from the outside post.

New York is the best prep location, the Jockey Club Gold Cup (G1) and Woodward (G1) each accounting for seven Classic winners while the Whitney (G1) has produced five and the Travers (G1) four.

Gun Runner was a four-year-old, snapping a three race winning streak for the three-year-olds who have won the Classic 12 times while four-year-olds have won 14, five-year-olds accounting for the rest with eight.

Time off has been in vogue, the last three winners coming off 63. 70 and 63 day breaks.
