Ag Bullet headed back to Kentucky Downs for next start

ARCADIA, Calif. – Ag Bullet returned to Santa Anita from Saratoga on Tuesday after her solid runner-up comeback June 6 in the Grade 1, $500,000 Jaipur.

Ag Bullet trains in Southern California, but purses on the circuit do not compete with the Midwest and East. The next turf sprint in California for fillies and mares is the $100,000 Daisycutter Handicap on July 25 at Del Mar.

Therefore, Ag Bullet will return to the Midwest for her next start.

“I’m probably going to end up waiting for Kentucky Downs,” trainer Richard Baltas said Wednesday at Santa Anita.

He was referring to the Grade 1, $1.75 million Kentucky Downs Ladies Turf Sprint, which Ag Bullet won in 2024 and 2025. The Ladies Turf Sprint is scheduled for Sept. 5 this year.

Ag Bullet, a 6-year-old by Twirling Candy, is in her final year of racing. Owned by Joey Tran and Calvin Nguyen, Ag Bullet has won eight races and $3,077,228 from 18 starts.
