What Post Position Has the Most Kentucky Derby Winners?

There is only one position that has never produced a winner at the Kentucky Derby.

The Kentucky Derby takes place Saturday, May 4 at Churchill Downs and it will be the 145th running of the Race for the Roses and the largest ever $3 million purse. 

Omaha Beach is this year's favorite at 4-1 odds and will be running out of the No. 12 gate. Following Omaha Beach with the next best odds to win the Derby are Game Winner at 5–1, Roadster and Improbable at 6-1, Tacitus and Maximum Security at 10-1 and then Code of Honor at 15-1.

The use of a starting gate position has only been around since 1930, so not every winner is accounted for in this list.

The Kentucky Derby will air on NBC from 2:30 p.m. through 7:30 p.m. ET. The main event race is set to begin at 6:50 p.m. ET. Viewers will also be able to stream the race on the NBC Sports App and Fubo.
