The Rebel Stakes was originally scheduled to be run Saturday, but Oaklawn Park officials moved the entire Saturday card to Sunday due to inclement weather conditions forecast for the region.
That said, a large field of fourteen 3-year-olds are scheduled to compete in the 65th edition of the Rebel Stakes.
The 1 1/16-mile contest distributes Kentucky Derby qualifying points on a 50-25-15-10-5 basis to the top five finishers and offers a lucrative $1.25 million dollar purse.
