Miff,
I read a different number somewhere, so I went to the Kentucky Derby website which presumably has accurate data and below is a summary (apologies for the formatting). I added the TG numbers for BB, Barbaro and Smarty (archives go back to 1982). The TGs are for their respective 3 year old campaigns - the last TG figure being the KD.
[u]From the KD website[/u]: The following is a list of 23 horses that were undefeated starters in the Kentucky Derby since 1915. Seven exited the Derby unbeaten: Big Brown (2008), Barbaro (2006), Smarty Jones (2004), Seattle Slew (1977), Majestic Prince (1969), Morvich (1922) and the filly Regret (1915).
Fifteen of the 23 undefeated horses were sent to post as the favorite. Note: Thunderer (1916) was full-brother to 1915 winner Regret. They each made their first start as 3-year-olds in the Kentucky Derby, as did 1922 winner Morvich.
