On this week's edition of HorseCenter, hosts Matt Shifman and Brian Zipse recap dazzling Dubai World Cup night performances, plus those from Gulfstream Park's Florida Derby card, before diving into a trio of important 2018 Kentucky Derby preps.

A small field in the Santa Anita Derby features a showdown between Bolt d'Oro and Justify. Keeneland's Blue Grass Stakes and Aqueduct's Wood Memorial feature other top 3-year-olds making one last try to earn Kentucky Derby qualifying points.

As the field for the first Saturday in May shapes up, HorseCenter will be there each week to have you ready for the big race. As always, thanks for tuning in!
