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.

You do realize that the horse is not by Giant's Causeway.

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.

Fantastic field if they all run. I think Caleb's Posse deserves a long look after what happened to him at the top of the stretch last time.

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

Name his top 5 current runners, since you are President of his fan club.
