Today on HorseCenter, your co-hosts Brian Zipse and Matt Shifman preview a big holiday of racing, featuring the Grade 1 Clark at Churchill Downs and a showdown in the Japan Cup.

On Thursday, fillies and mares race in the Falls City (G2) at Churchill. Friday’s Clark drew a full field of 14 led by Code of Honor and By My Standards. The 2-year-olds move back to the Kentucky Derby trail in the Kentucky Jockey Club (G2) under the Twin Spires on Saturday. Out west at Del Mar, the Hollywood Derby (G1) drew a stellar field with horses from both sides of the country.

Matt and Brian wish all of you a happy and safe Thanksgiving and, as always, thank you for watching the show.
