    Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn Park

    Oaklawn Park Race 10 Rebel Stakes (G2) Post time 5:47 CT

    #4 Uh Oh Bango
    #7 Dublin
    #2 Lookin At Lucky
    #6 Noble’s Promise

    #4 Uh Oh Bango might really get overlooked in here, and the colt did not run a bad one in five starts as a two year old, capped off with a game second, beaten a neck behind Rule in the Delta Jackpot (G3). Rule came back to win the Sam F. Davis at Tampa Bay Downs and looks like a serious Derby contender. Our top pick was a good second two back in the Iroquois, beaten just a length, finishing ahead of #7 Dublin in that outing. The colt is a half to stakes winner Ez Dreamer, who was mainly a sprinter but did win going long a couple of times.

    #7 Dublin was a good second last out behind the gate to wire winner Conveyance in the Southwest (G3) in his three-year-old debut. The colt has the pedigree to be a nice runner. The $525K purchase is by Afleet Alex out of the multiple stakes winner Classy Mirage ($717K) who also produced stakes winner Mike’s Classic ($328K). The Hopeful (G1) winner popped a couple of bullet works since his last start and has an advantage over “Lucky” and “Promise” by having a race over the surface.

    Tremendous run by Lookin at Lucky. A terrible troubled trip, and he still wins. Much the better horse, and the obvious favorite to win the Derby.

    Noble's Promise came out in front of him at about the half mile pole. He recovered nicely and sure finished up gamely...The 6/5 sure was light considering the layoff.

    Baffert has shipped 3 horses to OP this meet, all making their dirt debuts and all three won.

    Baffert will probably win the Derby although Pletcher has the better string of horses. I agree that 6-5 was veryyyyyy generous for juvenile champions return
