Trainer Bob Baffert can set the record for wins by a trainer when he sends out the favored Taiba in the 2022 Pennsylvania Derby on Saturday at Parx. The 69-year-old Baffert has won the Pennsylvania Derby three times (in 2014, 2017 and 2018). That's tied with fellow Hall of Famers Woody Stephens and Nick Zito for the most ever. On Saturday, he'll go for No. 4 with Santa Anita Derby winner Taiba, the 5-2 favorite in the 2022 Pennsylvania Derby odds. Haskell winner Cyberknife is the 3-1 second choice in the 11-horse 2022 Pennsylvania Derby field. Post time is 6:10 p.m. ET. 

Before making any 2022 Pennsylvania Derby picks, you'll want to hear what SportsLine writer Gene Menez has to say.

A former reporter and editor at Sports Illustrated, Menez covered an array of sports, including horse racing, for the magazine and its website for almost 14 years. Between 2010 and 2012, he served as SI's handicapper for the Triple Crown races and correctly predicted Super Saver to win the Kentucky Derby in 2010. In 2015, while writing for Sports on Earth, Menez accurately gave out the Kentucky Derby superfecta (American Pharoah, Firing Line, Dortmund and Frosted), which paid $1,268.20 for $2. Then in 2017, he tweeted out his Kentucky Derby picks, including Always Dreaming to win, and hit the Pick 4, which paid almost $6,900 on a $1 bet.

Now, Menez has handicapped the field for the Pennsylvania Derby, made his picks and formulated his bets.

One shocker: We can tell you that Menez's top pick is not the 5-2 favorite, Taiba. "Taiba just seems to be a little bit of a grinder who doesn't have as much push-button acceleration as my top choice," Menez told SportsLine.

Instead, Menez's top pick is a horse who is "doing so well right now." He also is high on a double-digit longshot who "could be sitting on a big race." Menez is including these horses in his wagers, and so should you. You NEED to see which horses they are before making any picks of your own.

So who wins the 2022 Pennsylvania Derby? What double-digit longshot is a must-back? And how has Menez structured his wagers? ... Join SportsLine now to get Pennsylvania Derby picks and wagers, all from the expert who once cashed for $6,900 on Kentucky Derby Saturday!
