Today on HorseCenter, your co-hosts Brian Zipse and Matt Shifman offer full field analysis and suggested wagers for Saturday's Haskell. Your hosts also look at opening weekend at both Saratoga and Del Mar with previews of the Diana and San Diego.

The field of seven for the $1 million Haskell includes the second-place finishes from the Triple Crown – Mandaloun in the Kentucky Derby, Midnight Bourbon from the Preakness, and Hot Rod Charlie in the Belmont Stakes.

Chad Brown will try and win the Diana (G1) at Saratoga for the sixth time in a row and seventh overall. At Del Mar, the older male division has nine horses entered in the San Diego Handicap (G2).

Best of luck with your wagers on these blockbuster summer races and, as always, thanks for watching the show.
