2021 Breeders' Cup Sprint morning-line odds, picks: Well connected racing reporter and analyst offers bet strategy for Saturday's $1 million race

Jackie's Warrior can confirm his status as the top sprinter in the country when the starting gate opens in the 2021 Breeders' Cup Sprint on Saturday at Del Mar in Del Mar, Calif. The Steve Asmussen trainee is the 6-5 morning-line favorite in the Breeders' Cup Sprint odds. The Mark Glatt-trained Dr. Schivel is the 4-1 second choice in the nine-horse field. Post time is 5:38 p.m. ET. Before you make any Breeders' Cup Sprint picks, you NEED to see what racing reporter and analyst Michelle Yu has to say.

Few people in racing are as connected as Yu. An on-air host and reporter who has provided racing analysis for TVG, HRTV and the Breeders' Cup, Yu has spent a lifetime in racing. Prior to her television career, she worked for trainers Steve Asmussen and Ron Moquett. She also is married to Santa Anita-based trainer Ryan Hanson.

And she has tremendous handicapping chops. In the 2011 Kentucky Derby, she correctly tabbed Animal Kingdom to win at a hefty 21-1. In the 2017 Breeders' Cup she nailed 11-1 long shot Wuheida to win the Filly and Mare Turf. And earlier this year, in a wide-open Kentucky Derby, she gave out Medina Spirit as the winner at 12-1.

Now, Yu has handicapped the 2021 Breeders' Cup Sprint field, made her picks and constructed her bets. 

One shocker: Yu is high on Dr. Schivel, who is the second choice on the morning line, at 4-1. "He is coming into this race bigger, smarter and ready," she tells SportsLine. Yu is using Dr. Schivel in her wagering.

Also, Yu is high on a long shot who "wouldn't shock me" if he won. Yu is including this horse in her 2021 Breeders' Cup Sprint wagering, and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY need to see her picks before locking in any of your own.

What long shot in the 2021 Breeders' Cup Sprint does Yu like? And how has Yu constructed her wagering?... Join SportsLine right now to get the top 2021 Breeders' Cup Sprint picks and bets, all from the well connected racing reporter who has routinely nailed double-digit winners!
