The last time a contender won the Kentucky Derby from the No. 13 post happened in 2004, although it was Smarty Jones, who also won the Preakness Stakes that year. But Smarty Jones was also the only race horse to have win out of that post so Nyquist would make some history if he were to win on Saturday.
