HorseCenter: Saratoga 2023 preview and Diana analysis

Photo:

This week on HorseCenter, your co-hosts Brian Zipse and Matt Shifman welcome in the 2023 Saratoga meet with a look at Saturday's Grade 1 Diana as well as some of the biggest names expected this year at the Spa.

Chad Brown will try to win the Diana for the eighth time with four horses entered. In Italian won this race last year and has won two Grade 1s in 2023. Mark Casse sends Fev Rover to try to beat the Brown quartet.

Grade 1 races at Saratoga attract the best horses in the country and thus have a big impact on divisional championships. In a new segment on HorseCenter, Matt and Brian ask and answer four questions about Forte, Clairiere, Cody’s Wish and In Italian.

Enjoy the summer of racing at Saratoga and, as always, thanks for watching the show.
