Road to Kentucky Oaks Report (1-20-26)

The Silverbulletday Stakes at Fair Grounds was the latest Kentucky Oaks 2026 prep race and Taken by the Wind stole the candy on the front end. A baker’s dozen Oaks points races have been run so far, and in this report, I will recap the Silverbulletday, 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 13 points races, my top choices have 5 wins, 3 runner-up finishes, and 4 show finishes. There are no Oaks Points races this week, and we are back on the Oaks trail on Jan. 31 with the Forward Gal and Martha Washington.

Kentucky Oaks 2026 Points Race Recaps

Silverbulletday at Fair Grounds (1-17-26): Nobody seemed to want the early lead and Taken by the Wind was a length to the good after the opening quarter. She was walking on the front end and Luv Your Neighbor chased from second and Atropa tracked the pace from the inside post. Due to the below par fractions, Taken by the Wind ($10.80) had enough left to hold off Luv Your Neighbor and prevailed by a neck, and it was another neck back to clear show finisher Atropa. Pashmina (4th), Dancin in Old Town (5th), and White Smoke (6th) also ran. Brian Hernandez, Jr. rode the winner for Ken McPeek. Fractions: 25.69, 50.24, 1:14.49, 1:39.22, 1:43.58.

Kentucky Oaks 2026 Points Race Recaps

Busanda Stakes at Aqueduct (1-3-26): Morning line favorite Shilling scratched. That changed to pace complexion dramatically and Dazzling Dame ($6.24) made the early lead and aired by 11 1/2 lengths, and runner-up Two Bits was more than eleven lengths clear of show finisher Believable. Midnite Ginny and Britain also ran. Jevian Toledo rode the winner for Brittany Russell. Fractions: 23.55, 47.20, 1:12.75, 1:25.27, 1:38.30.

Grade 3 Pocahontas at Churchill Downs (9-13-25): We are officially back on the Oaks trail. Taken by the Wind ($14.10) stalked from fourth, hit the front, and won by 5 1/4 lengths over post time favorite Miss Complicated. The latter sat in 5th and closed for the place but was no match for the winner. Joke Maker (3rd), Dazzling Dame (4th), Our Two Girls (5th), Embrace the Moment (6th), and Starlit Sky (7th) rounded out the order of finish in the first Oaks 2026 points race. Irad Ortiz, Jr. rode the winner for Ken McPeek. Fractions: 22.75, 45.57, 1:10.48, 1:23.43, 1:36.50. 

Grade 1 Alcibiades at Keeneland (10-3-25): Percy’s Bar set the pace and kept on going, and she crossed the line 2 3/4 lengths in front of race favorite Tommy Jo, but the inquiry sign was flashing and the order of finish was reversed. Tommy Jo ($2.88) was placed first through disqualification for John Velazquez and Todd Pletcher. Percy’s Bar bumped Tommy Jo but the latter did not seem to be making a dent on the leader when the incident happened. The Grumpy Rabbit (3rd), Go to Girl (4th), Wonzee Weather (5th), Haute Diva (6th) completed the order of finish. Fractions: 23.13, 46.90, 1:11.52, 1:37.47, 1:44.69.
