In a rare twist of scheduling at Oaklawn Park in Arkansas, Saturday's Grade 2 Rebel Stakes gives horse bettors a chance to bet on a major Kentucky Derby prep race twice. Due to track problems at Santa Anita Park that forced the cancellation of last Saturday's San Felipe Stakes, the 19-horse field for this year's Rebel Stakes was split into two divisions. The $1 million price purse was also increased to $750,000 for each race. The top four finishers in each race will also be awarded qualifying points for the 2019 Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on May 4.
As part of my weekly horse racing coverage for the highly popular sports betting site Scores & Stats, I broke down the field for both of the Rebel Stakes divisions to come up with my top trifecta pick for each. Please click through the link below for my complete race preview.
