There were some good performances in that #Rebel, but Cupid did hold impressively. Perfect trip for him, and great run by Whitmore for 2nd

"Bob Baffert doesn't rebuild, he reloads!", say's @ToddTVG, and he couldn't be more right! #Cupid like an arrow to win the #Rebel! @TVG ????

Oh those Baffert shippers. Cupid over Whitmore in the $900,000 Rebel Stakes (gr. II) @OaklawnRacing

@KentuckyDerby news: Bob Baffert-trained Cupid wins #Rebel Stakes. #AmericanPharoah won '15 Rebel.

— Paul Miles (@PaulMiles84) March 19, 2016

Can we please change the name of the Rebel to the Bob Baffert Stakes? #Cupid

— Ryan Martin (@CalBredStallion) March 19, 2016

I didn't get the hype on Cupid, but that was very impressive

— Jessica Tugwell (@starryday93) March 19, 2016

Obviously speculating, but I don't think Cupid would have hit the Exacta (maybe even Tri) in the San Felipe... and he wins Rebel.

— Travis Stone (@TravisStone) March 19, 2016

Cupid was super impressive, winning the Rebel wire-to-wire and fighting off a challenge by Whitmore in the stretch!

— Jessie Oswald (@JBOswald68) March 19, 2016

@DRFPrivman Wow. Cupid. I did not see him doing that when he got to the top of the lane. #Megatalent.

— Barbara Bowen (@BabsBowen) March 19, 2016

Well Cupid was unbeatable! Congratulations to the connections! #rebelstakes #KyDerby #horseracing

"We needed this race. We needed to win really bad" - Martin Garcia re Cupid win in Rebel.

— Ron Flatter (@ronflatter) March 19, 2016

That was a pretty freaky performance from Cupid. . . He really shut the door on Whitmore.

— Brian DiDonato (@BDiDonatoTDN) March 19, 2016

Wow. Cupid dug in there. Thought he was gonna get caught. #rebelstakes

Cupid!! You can't count that Baff out when he ships East. 'Cupid' wins the G2 Rebel Stakes & earns 50 @KentuckyDerby points. #horseracing

Gritty run by by Cupid, awesome run by Whitmore. Great prep race. The Rebel rocks.

I just checked, and this is what I'm coming down with after watching Cupid's performance in the #RebelStakes! pic.twitter.com/7finZ4VCYK

— Penelope P. Miller (@PenelopePMiller) March 19, 2016

Left the Rebel questioning how good this group really is. Whitmore, Cupid, Cherry Wine solid, but doubt they're top 8 Derby candidates.

— Candice Hare (@chare889) March 19, 2016

Cupid almost went into the rail in upper stretch & rebroke when Whitmore came up alongside. That was a big win. Galloped out great too!

— Matt Dinerman (@3coltshandicap) March 19, 2016

Congrats to Cupid! A lot of hype on this colt, and he lived up to it. https://t.co/IaJrIq3yAN

@mscooter0412 @cynthiaalbizo We're going to the Derby, Cynthia! Cupid!! ❤️

— Fib Trader (@HenryPetzold) March 19, 2016

@ronzmahoney @BreedersCup I don't think any of those Rebel horses are legit Derby contenders outside of Cupid and SBN.

— Jeremy Pond (@JeremyPond) March 19, 2016

Cupid wins Rebel by 1 1/4 lengths. Whitmore 2nd by 1 3/4 over Creator, w Cherry Wine 4th. #KyDerby @DerbyContenders pic.twitter.com/Cnu81RANfW

Cupid, with Martin Garcia up, gives Bob Baffert his 6th Rebel victory @OaklawnRacing. #stakesdebut #sonofTapit pic.twitter.com/MdBlGYvHdL

— Nancy Ury-Holthus (@NancyUryHolthus) March 19, 2016

I think Cupid wins by more if he doesn't almost hit the rail down the lane. He lost all of his momentum and still got it done.

— Taylor B. (@SummersInToga) March 19, 2016

Finally I'm excited about a horse on the derby trail. #Cupid
