This time on HorseCenter, Matt and Brian preview each of the four graded stakes on a great card set for opening day at Santa Anita.

The day after Christmas racing is filled with big names who are looking to end 2017 with a big stakes victory. In the Grade 2 San Antonio, top California older males like Collected, Hoppertunity, and Accelerate will tangle. In the Grade 1 La Brea it’s Unique Bella and Paradise Woods matching up. While in the Malibu, Pavel will have to deal with the challenge of some lightly raced but talented upstarts from all over the country.

Brian and Matt -- plus our producer, Brett -- would like to wish all of the HorseCenter viewers a happy and healthy 2018 that is filled with great racing and winning tickets.
