2023 Royal Ascot odds, horses, field: Well connected reporter offers best bets for Tuesday's races

SportsLine racing analyst Michelle Yu, who has been red-hot the last month and is England covering the Royal Ascot meeting, offers her best bets for three races on opening day

The Royal Ascot meeting at Ascot Racecourse outside London features world class horse racing every June, and Tuesday's card features some international superstars, led by two-time Breeders' Cup winner Modern Games in the Queen Anne Stakes. He and Inspiral are battling for favoritism in the latest 2023 Queen Anne Stakes odds, at 2-1. Post time is 9:30 a.m. ET.

With some of the world's best horses set to enter the starting gate on Tuesday, you'll want to see what astute racing reporter and analyst Michelle Yu has to say before making any Queen Anne Stakes or Royal Ascot 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 month, she has hit the exacta in the Preakness Stakes and Hollywood Gold Cup and had both the winner and exacta in the Summertime Oaks.

For Tuesday, Yu has handicapped the Royal Ascot card, made her picks and constructed her bets. Join SportsLine here to see them!

We can tell you that Yu is high on Highfield Princess, the 5-2 favorite in the King's Stand Stakes, the third race on the card (10:40 a.m. ET). "She's a rocketship, and I think she can take them gate-to-wire," Yu told SportsLine. Highfield Princess is Yu's top pick in the King's Stand Stakes and her key horse in her exacta bets.

Moreover, Yu has best bets on three total races on Tuesday and is high on multiple huge double-digit longshots. One of these longshots has "showed some gumption" and could light up the toteboard on Tuesday. She is including this horse in her Royal Ascot best bets, and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY need to see her picks before locking in any of your own.

So what double-digit longshots are must-backs for Royal Ascot on Tuessday? What are Yu's best bets? And how has she constructed her wagers? ... Join SportsLine right now to get Royal Ascot picks for Tuesday, all from the insider who has been red-hot over the last month and is in England covering the Royal Ascot meeting!
