As the post positions are drawn for the 136th running of the Kentucky Derby one thing stands out about the race.

In two of the past three years Calvin Borel has ridden the winner. Street Sense in 2007, and Mine That Bird in 2009.

Part of a winning strategy is to look for the points that separate the horses from one another like Beyer points or Beyer Speed Figures. You can follow how many points up or down a horses speed is measured by using Beyer’s speed figure but there are many more variables and we Break I.T. Down into 10 points.

Stay tuned for the 10 points to betting this year’s Kentucky Derby winner after the draw which is happening right now live on HRTV.
