The $1,250,000 Rebel Stakes (G2), Oaklawn Park
Race 11 (5) Madaket Road was third behind two Bob Baffert-trained stablemates in the Robert B. Lewis. Gets Irad here and should be able to handle this field. (3) Sandman closed well to be second in the Smarty Jones and figures to get a better pace scenario here. (1) Coal Battle has won three stakes in a row, including the Smarty Jones. Will get a big boost from a rail trip. (8) Innovator broke his maiden over the track and is working sharply for this start. Betting strategy: 5 to win. Exacta and trifecta box: 1-3-5-8.
