I give up. Haha

Charismatic is right, before the totes were reconfigured to hold 20 betting interests, the Derby had "field" horses, the top 11 (as determined by track handicapper) were separate betting interests with the remainder grouped into "field"...there were also entries back then, so if there was an entry of two or more horses, they were numbered 1, 1a etc, a second entry was given 2 and so on. Post positions and numbers did not match up (ie: the 1a might draw post 20). Gato broke from the 18 in 1982.
