One Kentucky Derby post position has never seen a winner. Chunk of Gold hopes to change that
(NEXSTAR) – In its storied 151-year history, there is an infamous starting gate number that has never produced a Kentucky Derby winner. The gate numbers, known as post positions, are decided by a random drawing. Betting odds shift based on where horses start and how they respond to certain posts, according to with the biggest swings often for No. 1 – which hasn't seen a winner since 1986 – and the outermost positions. While post position 5 has had the best record with 10 winners, the most recent being Always Dreaming in 2017, post position 17 is the only one that hasn't produced a single first-place finish. But could this be the year the curse ends? Sandman, ridden by highly-regarded jockey Jose L. Ortiz, was initially assigned post position 17 with enviable 5-1 odds, according to That changed, however, when two horses, Grande and Rodriguez were scratched late in the week, moving Chunk of Gold, at 30-1, into the 17th position, according to Covers. The 3-year-old gray/roan colt finished second consecutively in the Risen Star and the Louisiana Derby, according to the Derby's profile. 'With his closing running style, proven stamina, and improving form, Chunk of Gold profiles as an interesting longshot candidate for the Kentucky Derby.' The odds-on favorite to win the Derby, Journalism, has 3-1 odds as of Friday afternoon. Journalism will be running from post 7, which has seen eight winners, including Mandaloun in 2021. See the complete number of wins by post position below: Post Record (entries-win-place-show) Win % Avg.

Horse racing handicapper Michael Dempsey told NBC that he would actually prefer the 17th post to some of the inner positions, and suspects the miserable win-loss record is just a statistical anomaly. 'I don't really think the outside posts are a disadvantage, even though the statistics tell us otherwise,' Dempsey said. 'If I liked a horse to win a race and then he drew that 17, 18, or 19 post, that wouldn't sway me.'

Ranking 2025 Kentucky Derby horse names: From Journalism to Chunk of Gold and Tiztastic
At first glance, the names read like a music festival lineup we're far too old for. Mandaloun, Mage, American Pharoah. Mystik Dan?! These are not new bands, rappers, synth-pop indie darlings or … whatever else we're doing these days. These are the winners of a sport's most prestigious competition. This year's Kentucky Derby is the 151st all-time running of the roses. It's an event that has persisted through multiple world wars and 30 U.S. presidencies. It's also an event with champions named I'll Have Another (2012), Smarty Jones (2004), Spend A Buck (1985) and Foolish Pleasure (1975). Advertisement The hopefuls in the running for 2025 have some rather strange names. Accordingly, here's our ultra-scientific ranking of the field, which had its post-position draw on Saturday. No wrong answers here, as it's a matter of taste and humor, but let us know which names are over- or underrated in the comments below. 1. Journalism It's what's happening right here, folks! This correspondent even got a college degree in it. Why is there a horse named Journalism? Does a horse have to fact-check its work or clear sources? Working theory: Jockey Umberto Rispoli loves 'All the President's Men.' 2. Publisher In which Penguin Random House becomes Pony Random House. Fear not, the rest of these entrants have nothing to do with the printing press. 3. Render Judgment This sounds like a 1980s Sylvester Stallone movie that wilted in the editing room. It probably had an awesome blues harmonica motif that played throughout the fight scenes. 'Time to render judgment!' could be the main character's triumphant catchphrase. We'd like to think that this horse, affectionately known as 'Rendy' by close horse friends, is one of the most open-minded and least judgmental horses of all time. 4. Final Gambit Another action movie franchise just waiting to happen. Here's to the green-lighting of Final Gambit 3: All Bets Are Off, starring Kurt Russell, or perhaps a second season of 'The Queen's Gambit.' No, that's asking for too much. 5. Neoequos Alternatively, this one sounds like a shadowy villain-boss from some '90s sci-fi series. 6. Chunk of Gold We're absolutely, unequivocally here for a physical competitor named 'chunk.' More powerful than a locomotive. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Faster than a speeding Chunk! 7. Coal Battle What could the Coal Battle be? Is rock-fight basketball on the NBA's Christmas Day program? Is it the annual rivalry game between Appalachian powerhouses? Is it a battle from within? Is there a rendering of judgment in the coal community? 8. Sandman We can hear this horse whinnying about 'Chalamet!' from the comfort of its wrinkled hoodie. 'Exit light, enter night.' Advertisement 9. Baeza (alternate) Named after Spain's municipality and World Heritage Site. Truthfully, any Spanish province makes for a cool-sounding name. 10. Admire Daytona Notice how the prior entry is without a directive. Our attention is called to Baeza, but what are we doing about it? Owner Junko Kondo informs us of the expectations. We don't have to visit Daytona, just show some appreciation from a distance. 11. Rodriguez The namesake is Sixto Rodriguez, but Rodriguez also evokes the man with 696 MLB home runs and one (1) breakup with Jennifer Lopez. Did we know that A-Rod once tried to compliment J-Lo by calling her an 'octopus threat?' Well, we know now. 12-13. Maps tier: Burnham Square, East Avenue Check traffic before heading over there. Trash and recycling go out on Thursdays. 14. Sovereignty Sounds more like the name of an off-roading sports utility vehicle. Matthew McConaughey delivers a somber monologue before the sped-up voice discusses special financing options for well-qualified buyers. 15. American Promise We'll choose to avoid the endless run of political jokes-turned-arguments and say it's a silly name for a horse. 16-18. Bad mashups tier: Flying Mohawk, Citizen Bull, Owen Almighty None of these are hitting, though Owen Almighty could clear the track with the flick of a hoof. 19. Luxor Cafe Is this just the title sponsorship for a local eatery? Is it located in Burnham Square or on East Avenue? Does it validate parking? Naming an entrant after a small business feels like a Little League baseball move. Search results for Luxor Cafe lead us to a coffee spot in Harvard Yard. The hot honey turkey sandwich does sound good, for what it's worth. 20. Grande Presumably one of the latte sizes offered at Luxor Cafe. 21. Tiztastic What was the intention here? Tiztastic has a sizable ownership list (Winchell Thoroughbreds LLC, plus three individuals), and none of them clocked that '-tastic' isn't a suffix? Or that 'fan' and 'tiz' do not rhyme? Our poorly-named protagonist here was sired by a racehorse named Tiz the Law. Consider what was left on the table: We mourn what could have been. Godspeed, Tiz Jr. (Illustrations by Dan Goldfarb; all photos by Andy Lyons / Getty Images)

Steve Kornacki, Groton native and BU graduate, will have expanded role with NBC Sports
In 2021, he was the only personality on the network's Kentucky Derby coverage to predict 12-1 shot Medina Spirit's victory. (The victory was later awarded to Mandaloun after a positive drug test by Medina Spirit, a Bob Baffert-trained horse.) Advertisement Kornacki had been with MSNBC since 2012, adding duties at NBC as a national political correspondent in 2017. In his revamped role, he will continue as a contributor to several NBC news and entertainment programs, including 'NBC Nightly News,' 'Today,' and 'Meet the Press.' Chad Finn can be reached at
