Breeders' Cup Classic champion White Abarrio returns to the track on Saturday when he faces five other horses in the 2024 Met Mile at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Trained by Richard Dutrow, White Abarrio has been installed as the 6-5 morning-line favorite in the 2024 Met Mile odds. National Treasure is the 8-5 second choice among the six Met Mile horses. Post time is 4:52 p.m. ET.

With several accomplished 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 Met Mile picks. Join SportsLine here to see whom 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 two years ago, she suggested a play on All Other 3-Year-Olds, which cashed at a whopping 18-1 when Rich Strike won the Derby.

She enters this year's Met Mile on a roll. She correctly called National Treasure to win the Pegasus World Cup. In the last two months, she predicted Stronghold's upset win in the Santa Anita Derby, en route to a $219.50 payday, and smashed the exacta in the Apple Blossom Handicap as part of a $410 score.

For the 2024 Met Mile, Yu has made her picks and constructed her bets. Join SportsLine here to see them!

One surprise: Yu is completely fading White Abarrio, even though he is the 6-5 favorite. "The Breeders' Cup Classic champ was a dud in Saudi Arabia and bypassed Dubai after that effort," Yu told SportsLine. She is not using White Abarrio in any of her wagers.

Moreover, Yu's top pick is a horse who has the ability to "find a good spot." She is using this horse in her 2024 Met Mile wagers, and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY need to see her picks before locking in any of your own!
