Kentucky Derby Post Positions and Odds
2011 Kentucky Derby post positions have been drawn today. Dialed In, the favorite in the early odds, received an excellent post position as he was drawn in the No. 8 spot. But a few other contenders weren’t so lucky. Uncle Mo, second in the odds at 9/2, is way outside in the No. 18 hole. Uncle Mo will be flanked by contenders on his left and right, with Soldat at No. 17 and Nehro at No. 19. All three are among the favorites in the 2011 Kentucky Derby.
