The stage is set for the 2026 Kentucky Derby, happening this Saturday at Churchill Downs, with the race kicking off at 6:57 p.m. ET. While Renegade enters as the 4-1 favorite, not everyone is convinced he’ll cross the finish line first.
Top racing analyst Michelle Yu, known for predicting big upsets and cashing in on longshots, is already shaking things up with her latest picks. Remember, she nailed past winners and even hit huge payouts with underdogs — so when she speaks, bettors pay attention.
👀 Here’s what she’s saying:
- Commandment (6-1) — Despite being a top contender, Yu is fading him. His recent wins have been less convincing over longer distances, and that could hurt him in the demanding Derby stretch.
- Chief Wallabee (8-1) — This is one to watch. He hasn’t won recently, but he’s been consistently close and could explode at the right moment.
- Renegade (4-1) — The favorite faces a tough challenge starting from the inside post, which has historically caused problems in crowded fields.
💡 Yu also hints that her top pick is a horse built for longer distances — and she’s backing a double-digit longshot who landed a perfect draw. That could mean a massive upset is coming!
With no Triple Crown winner since 2018, the 2026 race is wide open — and this could be the year we see something special.
⚠️ Bottom line: Don’t just follow the odds — this Derby could flip expectations completely.
