A wide-open renewal of the Pennsylvania Derby will be staged at Parx this weekend, and we are keen on the chances of a runner at a double-digit price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The race will be the 13th<\/sup> on the card in Pennsylvania this weekend, and an expected field of eleven runners are expected to line-up, including the 2024 Preakness winner, Seize The Grey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the final big purses of the U.S. season that is reserved for horses aged three will be contested at Parx this weekend. The Pennsylvania Derby has been won by some smart types throughout history, including 2014 Breeders\u2019 Cup Classic champion Bayern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This weekend\u2019s race doesn\u2019t appear to have the same kind of high-quality field, with Brad Cox\u2019s Dragoon Guard heading the betting. The three-year-old by Arrogate certainly presents the most exciting profile, and a major step forward was taken on his previous appearance when landing the G3 West Virginia Derby.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOffshore Odds: Up-and-Comer Favored to Land First Grade One<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
