Stakes Saturday in Arkansas

As we move along a desolate sports landscape, please stay in good health and be safe above all else.

On this Stakes Saturday we take a look in on another Kentucky Derby prep race down Arkansas way.

Oaklawn Park Race 10 {Rebel~G2~1 1/16 mile~3 year-old~Graded Stakes}

A solid group of eight will go to the gate in this annual Derby prep race. There is plenty of speed to create a top-line speed fest. Speed numbers are fairly close with a few still improving. Three in here are competing for their next win after succeeding in their previous races. It should be an awesome race.

#3 Basin (Casellano / Asmussen) is coming off an extended layoff, but appears ready to take another step forward. Among these, he holds the fourth highest last out speed number and five high octane workouts. This guy is 100% in the money from three career starts. A son of Liam's Map he can be expected to track the pace closely and strike in the stretch.
$2 WIN  /  $3 PLACE  /  $5 SHOW.

#1 Nadal (Rosario / Baffert) comes in from California to stretch out to this distance and grab some derby points. He holds the second highest last out speed number and three powerful workouts. This lad is undefeated in two starts. A son of Blame, he should be part of the pace scenario.
$2 PLACE  /  $3 SHOW.

#2 Excession (T. Baze / Asmussen) comes up from NOLA to battle these hombres. He has fired three successive mid-range speed numbers including his last at a longer route. Add in three superb peaking workouts and this guy could be sitting on a breakout performance. A son of Union Rags, he is 75% in the money at this distance from four starts.
$2 SHOW.

#6 Three Technique (L. Saez / J. Englehart) has already hit the board in one start over the Oaklawn oval. He holds the third highest last out speed number and four strong workouts. Look for him to track the pace and spring into the stretch. A son of Mr. Speaker, he has hit the board in all five of his career starts.
