History: A race for three-year-old horses at Oaklawn Park, the Rebel Stakes is the second of three events that make up the track's three-year-old Stakes Program. The first event is the Southwest Stakes with the third being the Arkansas Derby. All three races are part of the Kentucky Derby Prep Schedule. The race first took place in 1961 and has been held annually since with the only deviation being the race split into two divisions in 2019 due to the cancellation of the San Felipe Stakes. It is now considered a Grade II competition having been bumped up from a Grade III in 2007. Bob Baffett has the most wins as a trainer with six and Mike E. Smith has tasted victory the most times as a jockey, with five.
