Instead, that honor will likely be bestowed upon the Bob Baffert-trained Improbable, who was second as the 2-5 favorite in the second division of the mile-and-one-sixteenth Rebel Stakes won by Long Range Toddy. The first division of the Rebel was won by Omaha Beach, who was a nose better than Baffert’s other beaten favorite, Game Winner. Each division of the Rebel was worth $750,000. The mile-and-one-eighth Arkansas Derby is the final race on the Road to the Kentucky Derby along with the Grade 3 Lexington Stakes to be run at Keeneland, also on Saturday. However, the Arkansas Derby offers 170 points to the first four finishers on a 100-40-20-10 basis respectively while Lexington runners will be vying for 34 points divided on a 20-8-4-2 schedule. The top 20 point leaders, including two possible invitees based on separate points standings in Japan and Europe, will make the starting gate for the Kentucky Derby presented by Woodford Reserve (G1) to be run at Churchill Downs on Nov. 4. Master Fencer (Jpn) is expected to accept an invitation as the Japanese point leader leaving 19 slots for North American Improbable/COADY PHOTO horses. Currently, Omaha Beach is number 19 in the standings number 27 in the Derby standings with 25 points, so he will with 37.5 points earned in the Rebel, just behind Toyota Blue likely need to finish first or second in the Arkansas Derby to Grass Stakes (G2) third-place-finisher Signalman with 38 make the trip to Kentucky. points. Jose Ortiz has been named to ride Improbable. No Eurpean qualifier is expected in this year’s Kentucky Omaha Beach, who is trained by Richard Mandella, is more Derby. experienced than Improbable with six career starts, but only Improbable was undefeated in the three starts before the graduated from the maiden special weight ranks in his race Rebel having won a maiden special at Santa Anita on Sept. 29 just prior to the Rebel.

Long Range Toddy hails from the barn of trainer Steve Asmussen and is owned by Willis Horton Racing LLC. Before his Rebel victory, his 2019 starts included a second- place finish in the $150,000 Smarty Jones Stakes won by Gray Attempt at Oaklawn on Jan. 25 and a third-place finish behind winner Super Steed in the Grade 3 Southwest Stakes at Oaklawn on Feb. 18. The son of Take Charge Indy has 53.5 Derby points, which ranks 11th, and is expected to safely qualify for a trip to Kentucky. Jon Court is set to ride Long Range Toddy. Gary Attempt comes back in the Arkansas Derby after win- ning the $125,000 Gazebo Stakes at Oaklawn on Mar. 23, a race that did not offer any Kentucky Derby points. Trainer William Fires said he needed to instill some confidence in the son of Graydar after he finished 11th in the Southwest Stakes.
