The Razorback Handicap (G3) and Azeri Stakes (G3) each received a $50,000 increase to $200,000 and the Razorback has been moved back a week to March 15 where it will help create a Racing Festival of the South Preview card along with the Azeri and the $600,000 Rebel Stakes (G2), which featured a runner-up finish from eventual Preakness Stakes winner Oxbow in 2013. These races are the final local preps for the $500,000 Oaklawn Handicap (G2), $500,000 Apple Blossom Handicap (G1) and $1 million Arkansas Derby (G1), respectively.
