Kentucky Derby winner Mage will leave the starting gate in the 2023 Preakness Stakes on Saturday at Pimlico Race Course. In the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, Mage overcame another slow start with a powerful stretch run to win the Run for the Roses. He is the 8-5 favorite in the 2023 Preakness Stakes odds. National Treasure is 4-1 in the seven-horse 2023 Preakness Stakes field. Post time is 7:01 p.m. ET. 

With several new horses taking their shot at the Kentucky Derby winner, you'll want to see what astute racing reporter and analyst Michelle Yu has to say before making any 2023 Preakness 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. In last year's Preakness Stakes, she NAILED the Early Voting-Epicenter exacta!

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. Anyone who has followed her is WAY UP! Now, Yu has handicapped the 2023 Preakness Stakes horses, made her picks and constructed her bets. Join SportsLine here to see them!

One surprise: Yu is completely fading Blazing Sevens, even though he is trained by two-time Preakness Stakes-winning trainer Chad Brown and is one of the Preakness favorites. "Blazing Sevens was precocious at age two, but I don't think he has made a huge improvement at age three," Yu told SportsLine.

Instead, Yu's top pick is a horse who should get a "clean trip" on Saturday! She also is high on a horse who drew the PERFECT post for his running style! She is including these horses in her 2023 Preakness 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 Preakness Stakes? And which horse drew the PERFECT POST? ... Join SportsLine right now to get Michelle Yu's 2023 Preakness Stakes picks, all from the insider who nailed last year's Preakness exacta!
