This week on HorseCenter your hosts Brian Zipse and Matt Shifman analyze and offer picks for the Malibu, La Brea, and San Antonio from a stacked opening day card at Santa Anita on Sunday.

In the Malibu, unbeaten Flightline with his top speed figure steps up to stakes company to face Dr. Schivel, a contender for the Top Male Sprinter Eclipse Award. The La Brea features the female sprinters including two from the barn of Bob Baffert. Hot Rod Charlie will wrap-up his 3-year-old campaign in the San Antonio as a heavy favorite.

Matt and Brian wish you Happy Holidays and, as always, sincere thanks for watching the show.
