Chancer McPatrick will try to end his three-race losing streak when he leaves the starting gate in the 2025 Woody Stephens Stakes on Saturday at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Last year Chancer McPatrick won the first three races of his career. He has since lost three straight starts. Despite that, Chancer McPatrick has been installed as the lukewarm 4-1 morning-line favorite in the 2025 Woody Stephens odds. Patch Adams (5-1), Citizen Bull (5-1), Macho Music (8-1) and Gunmetal (8-1) round out the top five choices in the 11-horse Woody Stephens Stakes field. Post time for the Woody Stephens 2025 is 5:28 p.m. ET. 

With several talented horses set to enter the starting gate on Saturday, you NEED to see what Santa Anita Park-based racing reporter and insider Michelle Yu, who's in Saratoga Springs to cover the race, has to say before making any 2025 Woody Stephens 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.

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.
