Below, DraftKings Director of Race and Sportsbook Operations Johnny Avello gives his top Pennsylvania Derby horse racing picks for DK Horse.

Eleven three-year-olds quest for a Grade 1 win and a purse of $1 million in the Pennsylvania Derby at Parx this Saturday. There is some speed in the race and also a handful of closers.

My top selection is one of those early speed horses, Saudi Crown. In his last outing, approximately seven weeks ago, he ran a spectacular race in the Jim Dandy Stakes (presented by DK Horse) at Saratoga. In the 1 ¼ mile race, he was nosed out by Forte, who is one of the top 3-year-olds in the country. The track was muddy that day and there’s a good chance it will be muddy again on Saturday. His latest workouts have been really solid and his trainer, Brad Cox, is one of the best in the world. Oh, by the way, his daddy was Always Dreaming, who won the 2017 Kentucky Derby. Looking for a clean break and catch me if you can.

Johnny’s Picks:

Win/Place- Saudi Crown

Exacta Key- Saudi Crown with Dreamlike, Magic Tap, West Coast Cowboy, Gilmore and Crupi
