This week on HorseCenter, hosts Brian Zipse and Matt Shifman offer picks and analysis of the 2019 Kentucky Derby's final prep races, Saturday's Arkansas Derby (G1) and Lexington Stakes (G3).

Then stick around for early look at the prospective field for the Kentucky Oaks, which figures to be headlined by Santa Anita Oaks (G1) winner Bellafina.

On upcoming shows, the guys will identify the most important Derby preps, analyze the probable pace scenario and give out their favorite wagers. Be sure to stay with us as the Run for the Roses approaches.

As always, thanks for tuning in!
