Oooha, A Rebel Split
On this Stakes Saturday The Rebel Stakes has been split into two divisions. As one of our Baseball hero's, Ernie Banks, used to say, "Let's play two". And this we shall by looking at both of the Rebel Stakes divisions.
Oaklawn Park Race 8 {The Rebel~G2~(division 1)~1 1/16 mile~3 year-old~Graded Stakes}
With Kentucky Derby points on the line the first two finishers of each race may find their way to a spot in the gate on the first Saturday in May. This first division of the race is intriguing with a strong contingent of invaders from California and Louisiana. There is plenty of speed to keep a quick pace. Speed numbers are fairly close considering each of these lads should continue to improve as they mature. It should be a very exciting race.
#2 Long Range Toddy (Court / Asmussen) should be ready to fire with the third highest last out speed number and two solid peaking workouts. He has the most experience over the Oaklawn track hitting the board in both runs. A son of Take Charge Indy, he should be tracking the pace closely and launch gamely into the stretch.
$2 WIN / $3 PLACE / $5 SHOW.
#7 Classy John (Cohen / D. Stewart) can be expected to be the speed of the race and could hold on to round out the exacta. This guy is 100% in the money from five career starts.

Oaklawn Park Race 10 {The Rebel~G2~(division 2)~1 1/16 mile~3 year-old~Graded Stakes}
Some think that this might be the stronger of the two divisions, but we will have to wait and see until that first Saturday in May to see which one might have the most in the gate on that day. This race shapes up as another fast paced one with several in here that prefer to be forwardly placed. Speed numbers again are fairly close especially among the top boys in this race. It will be another very exciting running of this annual Derby prepper.
#5 Game Winner (Rosario / Baffert) is the deserved favorite. Last year's Breeders Cup Juvenile champ will be making his first start of his three year-old campaign. With the highest speed number at this distance, two victories at same, and four sensational peaking workouts, he is well prepped for his first 2019 start.
