Trainer Bob Baffert can add to his record number of wins in the Goodwood Stakes when he sends out two horses in the 2025 Goodwood Stakes on Saturday at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, Calif. The 72-year-old Baffert has won the race a record eight times, three more than the next best trainer. On Saturday he goes for No. 9 with Privman and Nevada Beach. (A third Baffert trainee, Gaming, will be scratched from the race.) Privman is the 5-1 third shot in the 2025 Goodwood Stakes odds, while Nevada Beach is a 12-1 longshot. The Brad Cox-trained First Mission is the 8-5 morning-line favorite. Post time for the Grade 1 Goodwood Stakes 2025 is 8:08 p.m. ET.

With several talented horses entering the starting gate on Saturday, you NEED to see what West Coast-based racing reporter and insider Michelle Yu has to say before making any 2025 Goodwood Stakes picks.

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. She started off 2025 by correctly going all-in on Citizen Bull to win the Robert B. Lewis Stakes, and she also predicted Forever Young's win in the Saudi Cup, Journalism's win in the San Felipe Stakes, Sandman's win in the Arkansas Derby and Mindframe's win in the Churchill Downs Stakes. She also hit the exacta in the Kentucky Derby.

As last month she hit the Fierceness-Journalism exacta in the Pacific Classic.

For the 2025 Goodwood Stakes, Yu has made her picks and constructed her bets. One surprise: Her top pick is not First Mission even though the horse is the 8-5 favorite. "My biggest problem with him is that he seems to run best close to the front, but he hasn't tasted California speed," Yu told SportsLine.

Instead Yu's top pick is a horse who has a "high cruising speed." She is including this horse in her 2025 Goodwood Stakes bets, and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY NEED to see her picks before locking in any of your own.

So which horse wins the 2025 Goodwood Stakes? And how has Yu constructed her wagers? ... Join SportsLine right now to get Michelle Yu's 2025 Goodwood Stakes picks and bets, all from the racing insider who nailed the Kentucky Derby exacta!
