Pegasus World Cup 2024: Win, place, show, exacta, trifecta and superfecta picks

The 2024 Pegasus World Cup will take place on Saturday at Gulfstream Park. Trainer Bob Baffert is a two-time winner of the Pegasus World Cup and will hope to capture a third title on Saturday with National Treasure, the 2023 Preakness Stakes winner. Todd Pletcher has three horses in the 2024 Pegasus World Cup field: Grand Aspen (8-1), Dynamic One (15-1) and Crupi (20-1). National Treasure is the 9-5 favorite in the 2024 Pegasus World Cup odds and will run from the No. 7 post. He's followed by First Mission (7-2), Skippylongstocking (8-1), O'Connor (8-1) and Grand Aspen.

Six of the seven winners of the Pegasus World Cup have been age four or five. Three winners have come from each age, while the lone outlier came in last year's event, when Art Collector won as a six-year-old. The purse is $3 million and post time is scheduled for 5:40 p.m. ET.

With several accomplished 2024 Pegasus World Cup horses set to enter the starting gate on Saturday, you'll want to see what Santa Anita-based racing reporter and analyst Michelle Yu has to say before making any 2024 Pegasus World Cup 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. She has hit the exacta in the Preakness Stakes and Hollywood Gold Cup and had both the winner and exacta in the Summertime Oaks and the Prince of Wales's Stakes. Last July, she smashed the Haskell Stakes for a $663 score, hitting 12-1 winner Geaux Rocket Ride as well as the exacta.

While a slew of horses could hit the board in the 2024 Pegasus World Cup, Yu is highly confident in a small group, isolating them for her exactas! She has a SHOCKING prediction for Skippylongstocking and Grand Aspen, two of the 2024 Pegasus World Cup favorites, and is also using a longshot to spice up her exotics in a BIG way! If you include this horse in your 2024 Pegasus World Cup picks, you could be looking at a HUGE payday.
