Die Hards 13 Derby Post Favorite Number of Owner CHURCHILL DOWNS, Louisville, Ky., May 1. — The number "13" is usually viewed with some superstitious concern by most people, and especially when it comes to drawing that post position in a big jackpot like the Kentucky Derby. An exception to that is Jack Hogan, owner of Jacnot Stable who sends Die Hard postward in search of the 65,-000 gross jackpot on Saturday. Hogans colt drew no. 13 post position and the Chicago insurance man is happy with his luck. It seems that "13" is his lucky number. His Chicago address is 1313 South Michigan Ave. His mother was born on January 13 and his birthday is November 3 11-3. Hogans hotel room is 1313; his stable arrived in Louisville on Friday, the 13th of March. His license plate starts with "13" and his fathers license plate starts with a "13." And to top it all off, Hogans favorite Daily Double number is 1-3.
