American Pharoah Kentucky Derby Odds Still 2-1 Following Dreadful Post Position

American Pharoah had short odds of 2/1 to win the 2015 Kentucky Derby despite a post-position (18) that has only produced one winner in the history of this race.

American Pharoah remains the favorite to win the Derby but Dortmund is closing in at 3-1 odds. 

Jockey Victor Espinoza will be riding American Pharoah.  Don’t tell him 18 is a bad number.

"I love my post, 18," Espinoza said afterward. "I feel lucky with that number."

It’s post-positions 1 and 2 that have become the most dreaded over the years.  Those were still available prior to American Pharoah’s name being called.

"I'm like, 'I'm ready for it. I'm ready for the news. Give it to me.' And when it didn't happen, I was just relieved," trainer Bob Baffert said, cheerfully adding in reference to his heart attack three years ago, "My stents right now, they're taking a lot of pressure."
