2:51 WO 4th DESTINIQUE (#4, 10-1) flattened out to fourth after a four-wide stalking trip when boosted up to this N1X level two weeks ago. She was previously a close second vs. males and could catch all the speed in this six-furlong sprint. -Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

Weekend Gameplan: Picks for Pennsylvania Derby, Cotillion, Gallant Bob Stakes

Emily Shields
Taiba breezed five furlongs in 59.40 on Friday prepping for the Haskell.

When Parx Racing in 2020 reduced its burdensome takeout rate on exactas and trifectas, it made the Pennsylvania Derby card much more playable. (Cry into the wilderness: How about across-the-board takeout reductions at venues where casino revenue primarily funds racing, where track owners hardly lean on racetrack betting handle for profit?) Ten stakes are clustered this year on Parx’s day in the racing spotlight. We need not leave Bensalem, Pa., to find three plays.

Pennsylvania Derby Day pick five picks and analysis

Buy Land and See is one of three singles on Kenny Peck's pick five ticket on Saturday at Parx Racing.

RACE 9: BOAT'S A ROCKIN gets back to sprinting on the turf, and this may well be his best game. He has an upset chance in the Turf Monster with a trip from just off the pace. NOTHING BETTER has speed but also has the ability to stalk the leaders and make one run. His recent Beyers clearly make him a threat. THAT'S RIGHT has the hedge and high speed and will look to steal it. He is certainly good enough with a clean getaway.
