Inaugurated as a Handicap race, the Rebel Stakes is now one of the prep races en route to the annual U.S. Triple Crown series.

On November 28, 2007, this Grade III stakes race was upgraded to a Grade II by the American Graded Stakes Committee.

In 2019, this race was ran in two separate divisions as a makeup race for the San Felipe Stakes in California, which was removed by state authorities after 22 horses died at Santa Anita Park, in order to allow 20 horses to participate.
