Ag Bullet

Ag Bullet burst onto the scene in her second career start at the beginning of her 3-year-old season with her maiden win in a 6 ½-furlong flat turf sprint at Santa Anita on Jan. 22, 2023. She then stretched to one mile on the turf at Santa Anita in her following start and won the $100,000 Lady Shamrock Stakes.

Ag Bullet did more winning at Santa Anita to start off her 4-year-old campaign. She began the 2024 season with a victory in the $100,000 Wishing Well Stakes going 6 1/2 furlongs on the downhill turf course. In her next race, Ag Bullet won her first graded stakes when she rolled to victory in the $100,000 Grade 3 Monrovia Stakes going 6 1/2 furlongs on the downhill turf course on April 6.

After earning another stakes win coming off a layoff in the $100,000 Osunitas Stakes going one mile on the turf at Del Mar on July 21, Ag Bullet was sent to Kentucky Downs to make her next start in the $1.5 million Grade 2 Exacta Systems Ladies Turf Sprint where she cutback again to her wheelhouse 6 1/2-furlong distance on the turf on Aug. 31. Sent off as the favorite in a 12-horse field in the Ladies Turf Sprint, Ag Bullet took control right from the start, went to the lead, and never looked back on her way to a big 5 1/4-length victory. The final time of the race in 1:14.19 over a fast track established a new course record.

Ag Bullet stretched out to race one mile in her next start and finished a creditable fourth in the First Lady Stakes Presented by UK HealthCare in October. Then, she competed against males in the Prevagen Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint at Del Mar and led briefly near the finish before setting for third by a neck behind Starlust and Motorious. She closed out a fine 2024 campaign with another close third-place finish in the one-mile Matriarch Stakes at Del Mar.

Returning for a 5-year-old campaign, Ag Bullet was sent off as the post-time favorite in the Unbridled Sidney Stakes Presented by Cygames May 2, 2025, at Churchill Downs and seemed primed for a big stretch run only to have her rally stall after steadying in the stretch. Then, the filly moved up in class once again and competed against males in the 5 ½-furlong Jaipur Stakes June 8 at Saratoga. With replacement jockey John Velazquez in the irons, Ag Bullet pressed a soft early pace set by Coppola and took command in early stretch en route to a two-length victory over My Boy Prince. With her score in the Grade 1 Jaipur, Ag Bullet earned a Win and You’re In berth to the Prevagen Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint held back at Del Mar on Nov. 1, 2025.

With a spot in the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint already secured, Ag Bullet took nearly three months off and returned to Kentucky Downs for her next race to attempt to defend her crown in the Grade 2 $2 million Never Say Die Ladies Turf Sprint going 6 1/2 furlongs at Kentucky Downs on Aug. 30. Sent off as the 1.67-1 favorite atop a 12-horse field on the Ladies Turf Sprint, Ag Bullet went right to the front and went all the way to win by a margin of three-quarters of a length under jockey Luis Saez.

Ag Bullet is trained by Richard Baltas. She was bred in Kentucky by the sire Twirling Candy out of the mare Noble Grey by Forestry.
