In this week's edition of HorseCenter, co-hosts Brian Zipse and Matt Shifman preview Saturday's trio of Kentucky Derby 2020 prep races along with the historic Santa Anita Handicap (G1) for older horses.

The Tampa Bay Derby (G2) features a rematch between Chance It and Sole Volante. While in New York, the one-turn Gotham (G3) drew a field of 11 looking for a chance to go further down the line. Out west at Santa Anita Park, the Bob Baffert runners Thousand Words and Authentic put their unbeaten records on the line in the San Felipe (G2).

The guys wrap-up the show with a look back to last weekend's signature victories by Maximum Security in the Saudi Cup and Ete Indien in the Fountain of Youth (G2). Oh, and you'll hear a short rant from Matt on one of this week’s issues in racing.

Enjoy the show and, as always, thanks for tuning in.
