Derby by the Numbers

There are folks who pick a name out of a hat, favorite color, or employ a complex computation where they ask everyone in their family who they like and toss them out. Either way, everyone has a little Derby madness pulsing through their veins. This Saturday you’ll hear every theory in the world and the method to their madness. Here are a couple of do’s and don’t’s for picking the winner. Breaking from the starting gate going 10 furlongs is a mad dash for cash. So, take this in an add it to your process.

There are two starting gates used for the run for the roses. The regular gate holds 14, and an auxillary gate adding another 6 spots. The 20 slots available for horses have trainers and connections wishing for thier favorite spot. Some like the middle posts from 5-15, and other trainers enjoy the outside draw in the auxillary gate according to America’s Best Racing.

Here’s a little something to think about before plunking down a few bucks or having a family party where names are drawn out of a hat. The Derby is a rite of spring and if you watch one race a year let it be the Kentucky Derby. – As you hear the University of Louisville band play “My Old Kentucky Home;” I’m sure you won’t see a dry eye around. It takes us back in history, the beauty and pageantry, and the long road to get here was nothing short of incredible. – Take a look at the info compiled by America’s Best Racing  for fans who have subscribe to a favorite number theory.
