History
editThe race was first run on March 18, 1961, as the Rebel Handicap over a distance of one mile and seventy yards. It was won by Mrs. Vera E. Smith's Bass Clef in 1:422⁄5.[1] The victory was Bass Clef's fifth in a row, a run that included the Louisiana Derby. Later in the spring, Bass Clef would finish third to Carry Back in the Kentucky Derby.
The event immediately became a preparatory event for the Arkansas Derby. The 1965 winner Swift Ruler won both races.
In 1984, the conditions of the event were changed from handicap to stakes allowance and the event was renamed the Rebel Stakes.[2] That same year the distance was increased to one and one-sixteenth miles.[3]
In 1990, the event was upgraded to Grade III. It was downgraded to Listed for the 2003 and 2004 runnings. It was upgraded in 2008 to a Grade II by the American Graded Stakes Committee.[2]
Since 2013, the event has been part of the Road to the Kentucky Derby.
In 2019, the event was split into two divisions after Oaklawn president Louis Cella presented a sporting gesture after the San Felipe Stakes was abandoned in California. Road to Kentucky Derby qualification points for the first four finishers were adjusted.[4]
