Default 3/19 (OP): Rebel S. (G2), Azeri (G3)

Upcoming Rebel Stakes looks like it will feature a full field highlighted by the likes of The Factor, Sway Away and Archarcharch. The Factor's first encounter with two turns will determine whether the colt stays on the Derby trail...looks like a very interesting race!

After what I saw last weekend The Factor is now my #1 Derby horse. He should have no problem beating this group

I could be wrong but I don't think it's going to be as easy as you might think. I think Sway Away should like the extra distance. He could give The Factor some trouble in this one.

Elite Alex has to shine in this spot or else you can forget about him.

I like that he won a 5f debut race like a horse who isn't a slowpoke - and Borel has basically tried to manipulate his running style. Now he needs the Graded Earnings.

Baffert should put the horse in a bulletproof vest based on RHT's proclamation.

ok the factor is your number one horse for the derby....but he has not even gone two turns yet. i'll admit the horse looks good...could even win. so you are not telling anyone anything worth something i would bet on. plus if history proves correct this horse will stop if he's 6-5 or some ridiculous price. because these are the kind of horses you love...i'd rather be ripping them up then winning on that horse if he's chalk,, minus a pic tick( i'll use him)...........sometimes(most times) i think you just don't get it...

Default two scratched from the Rebel

Dreaminofthewin and Glint scratched bringing field down to 11 starters. Should have no real impact as both were longshots,

I think Thunder Gulch got tired from the layoff, he was right in position on the turn.

I thought I might have imagined that. LOL, I see why people complain so much about him now.
