Hot Springs, Arkansas is the place for a great Stakes Saturday as we look in on another Kentucky Derby prep race.
Oaklawn Park Race 11 {Rebel Stakes~G2~1 1/16 mile~3 year-old~Graded Stakes}
An excellent field of eleven will go to the gate in search of KD points for the first Saturday in May.
Past Performances used: DRF Formulator.
There is enough speed and forwardly placed types to keep the pace rolling. Speed numbers are fairly close amongst this group making for a highly competitive event. Two will be stretching out and one will cut back to make this distance for the first time. All are well prepped as you would expect when seeking a spot in the gate for the Derby in May. It should be a super race.
#8 Chasing Time (Gaffalione / Asmussen) looks to take another step forward as he stretches out to this distance. He holds the fourth highest last out speed number and four strong peaking workouts. This guy should be forwardly placed. A son of Not This Time, he is 80% in the money from five career starts.
$2 WIN / $3 PLACE / $5 SHOW.
#2 New Grange (J. Velazquez / Baffert) will be seeking his fourth win in a row with the highest last out speed number and two powerful workouts. This lad will be part of the pace scenario. A son of Violence, he is undefeated in three career starts.
$2 PLACE / $3 SHOW.
#7 Ben Diesel (Court / D. Stewart) loves this distance with the third highest last out speed number and two sound workouts. He should be tracking the pace closely. This colt loves the surface and the Oaklawn track. A son of Will Take Charge, he is 50% in the money from four career starts.
$2 SHOW.

#11 Dash Attack (Cohen / McPeek) will look to improve at this distance as he tracks the pace. Should the track come up wet, he will be the one to beat. Two exceptional bullet workouts adds to his luster. A son of Munnings, he has a 66% win rate from three career starts.
