The undefeated Good Cheer will look to win the biggest race of the year for 3-year-old fillies when she leaves the starting gate in the 2025 Kentucky Oaks on Friday at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky. Trained by Brad Cox, Good Cheer is a perfect 6-for-6 in her career. She is coming off a win in the Fair Grounds Oaks. For Friday, is the 6-5 favorite in the 2025 Kentucky Oaks odds. La Cara (6-1), Quietside (8-1), Simply Joking (10-1) and Ballerina d'Oro (10-1) round out the top five favorites among the 14 Kentucky Oaks horses.

With 14 talented but relatively inexperienced 3-year-olds making for a mind-bending handicapping exercise, you NEED to see what Santa Anita-based racing reporter and insider Michelle Yu has to say before making any 2025 Kentucky Oaks picks, considering her track record calling WINNERS.

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.

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 three years ago, she suggested a play on All Other 3-Year-Olds, which cashed at a whopping 18-1 when Rich Strike won.

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 and Sandman's win in the Arkansas Derby this year.
