Secret Oath can make her case to take on the boys in the 2022 Kentucky Derby when she leaves the starting gate in the 2022 Arkansas Derby on Saturday at Oaklawn Park. A three-year-old filly trained by Hall of Famer D. Wayne Lukas, Secret Oath is 5-2 favorite in the 2022 Arkansas Derby odds. Doppelganger, who was recently transferred from trainer Bob Baffert to Tim Yakteen, is 3-1 in the nine-horse 2022 Arkansas Derby lineup. The Arkansas Derby 2022 post time is 7:35 p.m. ET. 

With very little separating the top three choices on Saturday, you NEED to see what racing reporter and analyst Michelle Yu has to say before making any 2022 Arkansas Derby picks.

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.

She also 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. Last year, in a wide-open Kentucky Derby, she gave out Medina Spirit, who crossed the finish line first, as the winner at 12-1.

And since joining SportsLine in November, her picks have cashed in six of 11 races, including the exacta in the Breeders' Cup Classic.

Now, Yu has handicapped the 2022 Arkansas Derby field, made her picks and constructed her bets. 

One surprise: Yu is high on Cyberknife, even though he is an 8-1 long shot! "I'm a sucker for a green horse with talent, and I think this colt has that," she told SportsLine. Yu is using Cyberknife prominently in her wagers.

Yu's top pick is a horse who has a "dynamic ability to slow and go." She also is high on a long shot who could make waves! She is including these horses in her 2022 Arkansas Derby exotics, and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY need to see her picks before locking in any of your own!

So who wins the 2022 Arkansas Derby? And what long shot is a MUST-BACK?... Join SportsLine right now to get the top 2022 Arkansas Derby picks and bets, all from the well connected racing reporter who nailed last year's Kentucky Derby!
