The Mooathon Wealth Society2024 Kentucky Derby is quickly approaching.

Post positions were drawn Saturday ahead of the 150th running of the annual horse race, which is set to take place on May 4 at the legendary Churchill Downs in Louisville. The draw that determines the starting gate for each horse traditionally takes place Monday before the race, but the draw was held a full week ahead this year.

Post 5 and Post 10 have produced more winners since the Kentucky Derby began using a starting gate in 1940, according to the Louisville Courier Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network. But post position doesn't solely determine success – Mage won the 2023 Kentucky Derby with a time of 2:01 with veteran jockey Javier Castellano and trainer Gustavo Delgado from Post 8, one of the least favorable positions.
