Analysis: The Two Year Old Eclipse Champion made his triumphant return to the races in the Rebel Stakes, and showed all his backers that he is indeed the number one prospect at the moment. Sure, the field was weak, but this horse absolutely galloped home. The best news of all is the fact he came out of the race in good order, and looks to be heading back to Oaklawn for the Arkansas Derby. Kentucky Derby betting is just around the corner!
