The Kentucky Derby is here once again, and it is just about time for the drawing of the post positions for the three-year-old contenders who will vie for the first jewel in horse racing’s Triple Crown. There is a lot of luck involved on the racetrack at Churchill Downs on the first Saturday in May, more so than just about any other race because few races in America feature a field as big as the one that we see at the Kentucky Derby every year. When you are jockeying for position down the backstretch with nineteen other riders you need some racing luck to be sure. With that in mind, the reality is that the luck factor begins before the race does. It starts with the post position draw.

The 2009 Kentucky Derby features a fairly evenly matched field, and the competition is extremely tough. Anyone who is handicapping the Kentucky Derby is not going to release his or her final Kentucky Derby picks until the post positions are set. To give you an example of how important the post position draw is, Big Brown won the race from the 20th post position last year. Guess when that was last accomplished? Before Big Brown accomplished the feat in 2008, the last time it was done was by Clyde Van Dusen in 1929.
