This is considered among the least favorable post positions with just five wins in Kentucky Derby history and zero since 1999.
“Creator, he's kind of out the back early. He won't have a long ways to go left to find the fence early,” trainer Steve Asmussen said of the number three post position start.
Creator had mixed results racing at Churchill Downs thus far, though one was a victory.
