The Kentucky Derby features a total of 20 horse starting positions, marked by poles that indicate the distance to the finish line. Each pole represents a specific distance, with the final pole indicating the last furlong. The markers help jockeys gauge their position and strategy throughout the race, which is run over a distance of 1.25 miles (10 furlongs) at Churchill Downs.
