The West Coast's best sprinters will square off when the starting gate opens in the 2023 Bing Crosby Stakes on Saturday at Del Mar. Dr. Schivel is 7-2 favorite in the 2023 Bing Crosby Stakes odds. Spirit of Makena, The Chosen Vron and Anarchist are the co-second choices in the 12-horse 2023 Bing Crosby Stakes field, at 4-1. Post time for the $400,000 race is 9:39 p.m. ET. 

With several accomplished horses set to enter the starting gate on Saturday, you'll want to see what red-hot racing reporter and analyst Michelle Yu has to say before making any Bing Crosby Stakes 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 week, she smashed the Haskell Stakes for a $663 score, hitting 12-1 winner Geaux Rocket Ride as well as the exacta.

Now, Yu has handicapped the 2023 Bing Crosby Stakes horses, made her picks and constructed her bets. Join SportsLine here to see them!

One surprise: Yu is fading Anarchist, even though he's one of the top favorites at 4-1. "I don't like the fact that he prefers to run second than win," Yu told SportsLine.

Instead, Yu's top pick is a horse with a perfect post draw. She also is high on a double-digit longshot with "early speed." She is including these horses in her 2023 Bing Crosby Stakes bets, and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY need to see her picks before locking in any of your own.

So who wins the 2023 Bing Crosby Stakes? What double-digit longshot is a must-back? And how has Yu constructed her wagers? ... Join SportsLine right now to get Michelle Yu's 2023 Bing Crosby Stakes picks, all from the insider who just nailed the upset Haskell winner!
