The Pennsylvania Derby is the biggest race in the nation this coming Saturday, with a $1 million purse up for grabs for three-year-olds at Parx Racing just outside of Philadelphia. The race is a 1 1/8 mile distance on a dirt track, and the race boasts a very strong field this year with some of the nations top 3-year-olds including Reincarnate, , Saudi Crown and Scotland.
In this article I will outline the morning line odds for the eleven horses set to compete in the race this year, give my favorite pick to win and also provide a simple three step guide to getting your Pennsylvania Derby bets placed online.

2023 Pennsylvania Derby Betting Odds
Here are the morning line odds and post positions for this years edition of the Pennsylvania Derby. Remember that these odds are not fixed and will change throughout the day depending on the amount of money bet on each horse.
- Modern Era 50-1
- Dreamlike 10-1
- Saudi Crown 7-2
- Magic Tap 5-1
- Scotland 6-1
- Daydreaming Boy 12-1
- West Coast Cowboy 12-1
- Gilmore 10-1
- Crupi 15-1
- Il Miracolo 8-1
- Reincarnate 3-1
Reincarnate did not draw a great post position, but he’s still the favorite coming out of gate 11. This is a Bob Baffert trained horse that is coming off a win in the Los Alamitos Derby in July. He’s a slight favorite over Saudi Crown, who is coming off a second place finish at Jim Dandy in late July.
Scotland is the third favorite with odds of 6-1. He won The Curlin at Saratoga in July, but finished in 6th in a strong field at the Travers Stakes last month. Il Miracolo, the fourth favorite, finished 2nd behind Scotland at The Curlin, but followed it up with a win at the Smarty Jones in August, although it was a slow race.
My Pick
I like Saudi Crown at 7-2. I think his post position gives him an advantage over Reincarnate, and his speed figures are very strong in his last two races even though he finished second in both. There’s no shame in coming second to Forte at the Jim Dandy in late July. This horse deserves to race with the best and I think he will prove that with a win on Saturday.
Play: Saudi Crown 7-2
