2024 Prince of Wales’s Stakes odds, horses, field: Racing insider offers best bets for Wednesday’s Royal Ascot race – SportsLine.com

Two Breeders’ Cup champions from last year will square off Wednesday when Auguste Rodin and Inspiral face each other in the 2024 Prince of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot. Last year, Auguste Rodin won the Breeders’ Cup Turf at Santa Anita. On the same day, Inspiral took home the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf. Auguste Rodin is the 15-8 favorite in the 2024 Prince of Wales’s Stakes odds, while Inspiral is the 5-2 second choice among the 10 Prince of Wales’s Stakes horses. Post time is 11:25 a.m. ET.

With several accomplished horses set to enter the starting gate on Wednesday, you’ll want to see what Santa Anita Park-based racing reporter and analyst Michelle Yu, who’s at Royal Ascot to cover the races, has to say before making any 2024 Prince of Wales’s Stakes 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 the Prince of Wales’s on a roll. She correctly called National Treasure to win the Pegasus World Cup, 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. And on the Belmont Stakes undercard, she nailed National Treasure’s win in the Met Mile ($235) and had both the winner and exacta in the Woody Stephens Stakes.

And on Tuesday, the opening day of the Royal Ascot meeting, Yu nailed Rosallion (7-2) to win the St. James’s Palace Stakes.

For the 2024 Prince of Wales’s Stakes, Yu has made her picks and constructed her bets. Join SportsLine here to see them.

One surprise: Yu is high on the chances of Alflaila, even though he’s an 8-1 longshot. “He runs so well fresh, generally winning off of a layoff,” Yu told SportsLine.

Moreover, Yu’s top pick is a horse who has “a shot to upset.” She is also high on a big double-digit longshot who “could run a good race at a big price.” She is including these horses in her 2024 Prince of Wales’s bets, and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY need to see her picks before locking in any of your own!

So who wins the Prince of Wales’s Stakes? What double-digit longshot is a must-play? And how has Yu constructed her wagers? … Join SportsLine right now to get Michelle Yu’s 2024 Prince of Wales’s picks, all from the racing insider who just won the St. James’s Palace Stakes!
