This week on HorseCenter, co-hosts Brian Zipse and Matt Shifman take an early look at the Arkansas Derby, which will supplant the Kentucky Derby as this year's feature on the first Saturday in May.
The race is likely to include the Bob Baffert stars Nadal and Charlatan along with the top runners exiting Saturday's local prep, the Oaklawn Stakes for 3-year-olds.
The guys also offer picks and analysis for the biggest races of this weekend, the Oaklawn Mile for older males and Oaklawn Stakes, with names in action including Tom's d'Etat, Mr. Money and Improbable.
While racing goes on, as always, thanks for watching the show.
