The 2009 champion two-year-old will be making his first start of the year in
the 1 1/16-mile race.
The Rebel is the final local prep race before the $1 million Arkansas Derby,
set for Saturday, April 10.
Trained by Bob Baffert, Lookin at Lucky will be ridden by Garrett Gomez and
leave from the two post. The Rebel will be the colt's first start outside of

Lookin at Lucky, owned by Karl Watson, Mike Pegram and Paul Weltman, was
