There were three Kentucky Oaks 2026 prep races this week and second time starter She Be Smooth announced her presence in an emphatic last-to-first victory in the Grade 2 Davona Dale at Gulfstream Park on Feb. 28. In this report, I will recap the Busher, Davona Dale, and Honeybee, update the points standings, and share my top five Oaks fillies.
I cover all of the Kentucky Oaks points race on my Runaway Horse YouTube channel, and through the first 23 points races, my top choices have 11 wins, 3 runner-up finishes, and 5 show finishes. The next Kentucky Oaks points race is the Santa Ysabel at Santa Anita Park on Sunday, March 8.
Kentucky Oaks 2026 Points Race Recaps
Busher Stakes at Aqueduct (2-28-26): The track was listed as good and Current Yield and Interstatelovesong dueled on the lead, and race favorite Paradise chased from third. Interstatelovesong took the lead and Paradise ($4.72) immediately pounced on the new leader and edged clear to win by 3 3/4 lengths (78 BSF). Nycon stalked from fourth and got past Interstatelovesong by a neck for the place. Current Yield weakened to fourth and Blazing Brat trailed throughout. Manny Franco rode the winner for Brad Cox. Fractions: 23.38, 46.75, 1:11.56, 1:24.64, 1:38.53.
