2022 Los Alamitos Futurity predictions, odds: Horse racing expert reveals picks, best bets for Derby prep race

Arabian Lion is the co-third favorite in advance wagering for the 2023 Kentucky Derby. He is a 2-year-old son of 2018 Triple Crown winner Justify. Arabian Knight and Forte are the other horses in the Los Alamitos Futurity. The post time for Saturday's race is 4:51 p.m. ET. Michelle Yu is an expert in horse racing and handicapping. She has cashed in Breeders' Cup Classics, Kentucky Oaks, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stake. She correctly predicted Animal Kingdom to win the 2011 Kentucky derby.

Yu is not picking Arabian Lion as her favorite for the Los Alamitos Futurity. Arabian lion won his debut at six furlongs by three lengths in April. Yu believes Arabian Lions' odds are too low to play him on top.
