The 2023 Kentucky Derby will take place on Saturday, May 6 at Churchill Downs. Florida Derby winner Forte was the 3-1 favorite in the 2023 Kentucky Derby odds before being scratched. Tapit Trice and Angel of Empire are the 9-2 co-favorites, while Derma Sotogake (7-1), Two Phil's (7-1) and Kingsbarns (10-1) are now among the top 2023 Kentucky Derby horses according to oddsmakers.

With a talented field set to leave the starting gate, you NEED to see what astute racing reporter and analyst Michelle Yu has to say before making any 2023 Kentucky Derby picks, considering the success she's had handicapping this race. Join SportsLine here to see who she's picking!

Few people in racing are as well-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.

Yu also has tremendous handicapping chops. In a wide-open Kentucky Derby in 2021, she gave out Medina Spirit, who crossed the finish line first, as the winner at 12-1. In Pool 5 of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager last year, she suggested a play on All Other 3-Year-Olds, which cashed at a whopping 18-1 when Rich Strike won the Derby.

Since the end of February, she has crushed the Saudi Cup, riding a 15-1 winner, nailed Derma Sotogake to win the UAE Derby and hit the exacta in the Santa Anita Derby. Incredibly, her return on investment over that time is $5.08 for every $1!

Now, Yu has handicapped the 2023 Kentucky Derby horses, made her picks and constructed her bets. Join SportsLine here to see them!

One surprise: Yu is fading Tapit Trice, even though he's one of the top 2023 Kentucky Derby favorites and just won the Tampa Bay Derby and Blue Grass Stakes. Another curveball: Yu is backing Derma Sotogake, even though he's a longshot at 7-1. "A son of champion sprinter Mind Your Biscuits, Derma Sotogake looked like the real deal in winning the UAE Derby," Yu told SportsLine.

Yu is also high on an EPIC longshot who "could cash a check with a good trip"! She is including this horse in her 2023 Kentucky Derby exotic bets, and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY need to see her picks before locking in any of your own.
