This week on HorseCenter, co-hosts Brian Zipse and Matt Shifman preview the Grade 2, $600,000 Jim Dandy at Saratoga as a different set of 3-year-olds take the stage following Maximum Security's Haskell Invitational (G1) victory.

The guys also look ahead to Saturday's Saratoga undercard as Mitole will put his seven-race win streak on the line against a field of veteran sprinters in the Vanderbilt. Earlier in the day in Europe, the fabulous mare Enable brings her winning streak to Ascot as attempts a second victory in the King George.

Matt and Brian also look back to last weekend's victories by Guarana, Midnight Bisou and Catalina Cruiser, each of which put those horses at or near the top of their divisions.

Be sure to watch the entire show for a chance to win a giveaway item from Matt and, as always, thanks for tuning in!
