Wednesday is the third day of the five-day Royal Ascot meet in England, and there are seven races on the card, which begins at 9:30 a.m. ET. Before you make any picks, you NEED to see what Santa Anita-based racing reporter and insider Michelle Yu, who's in England to cover the Royal Ascot meet, has handicapped the day.

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.

For Wednesday, Yu has handicapped the card at Royal Ascot, made her picks and constructed her tickets.

We can tell you that she is high on Charles Darwin, the 7-5 favorite in the Norfolk Stakes (9:30 a.m. ET). "This son of No Nay Never has successfully traveled six and five furlongs, the latter in a quick 58 seconds when running in Ireland last time out," Yu told SportsLine. Charles Darwin is Yu's top pick in the Norfolk Stakes and appears prominently in her wagers. Join SportsLine now to get Royal Ascot picks from a racing insider for Thursday and get 50% off using the promo code JOCKEY.
