2023 Met Mile odds, horses, field: Well connected reporter offers best bets as Cody's Wish returns

Arguably the most popular racehorse in training returns to the races on Saturday when Cody's Wish faces eight other horses in the 2023 Met Mile. Named after Cody Dorman, a teenager who was born with the rare genetic disorder Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, Cody's Wish has eight wins in 12 career starts. He is the 7-5 favorite in the 2023 Met Mile odds. Repo Rocks is the 4-1 second choice in the nine-horse 2023 Met Mile field. Post time is 5:04 p.m. ET. 

With several accomplished horses set to enter the starting gate on Saturday, you'll want to see what astute racing reporter and analyst Michelle Yu has to say before making any Met Mile picks. 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. In the last three weeks, she has been red-hot. She hit the exacta in the Preakness Stakes and Hollywood Gold Cup and had both the winner and exacta in the Summertime Oaks.

For Saturday, Yu has handicapped the 2023 Met Mile horses, made her picks and constructed her bets. Join SportsLine here to see them!

One surprise: Yu is completely fading Repo Rocks, even though he is one of the top favorites at 4-1. Another curveball: Yu is high on Slow Down Andy, even though he's a 10-1 longshot! "While he will need to improve to win, I see no reason to knock his most recent form," Yu told SportsLine. She is using Slow Down Andy prominently in her 2023 Met Mile bets.

Moreover, Yu's top pick is a horse who "has been training lights-out." She is also high on a HUGE double-digit longshot who is a "candidate for more prize money." She is including these horses in her 2023 Met Mile bets, and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY need to see her picks before locking in any of your own.

So who wins the 2023 Met Mile? What double-digit longshot is a must-back? And how has Yu constructed her wagers? ... Join SportsLine right now to get Michelle Yu's 2023 Met Mile picks, all from the insider who nailed the Preakness Stakes and has been red-hot the last three weeks!
