Manhattan Stakes 2022 prediction, odds, field: Horse racing insider reveals top picks, best bets for Saturday
Gfo is the morning-line favorite in the 2022 Manhattan Stakes. The Brendan Walsh-trained Santin is getting 7-2 odds in a 10-horse field. Yu has handicapped the field and made her picks. She has cashed in several big races. She is married to Santa Anita-based trainer Ryan Hanson. Her picks have caked in Breeders' Cup Classic, Breeder's Cup Turf Sprint, Sham Stake, El Camino Real Derby, San Felipe St. and Preakness Stages.
Yu likes Highland Chief, who is fourth in the odds at 6-1. He has three wins, two seconds and two thirds in 12 career starts. Yu likes that when this horse was based in Europe, he showed an ability to win without needing to stalk the pace.
Yu's top pick is a "versatile horse we haven't seen the best of yet" and she's high on a double-digit long shot. Yu is including these horses in her 2022 Manhattan Stakes bets.
