[1] Purchased by Michael E. Pegram, who gave her to trainer Bob Baffert for conditioning, Silverbulletday began her racing career at age two with an 11-length win.
In late July, Stevens guided Silverbulletday to a win in the Grade III six and one half furlong Sorrento Stakes at Del Mar.
After her first loss in the Grade III Del Mar Debutante, Baffert and Pegram mapped out a strategy of attempting to win the division by moving her tack for the rest of the year to Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.
She held the lead through more than three-quarters of the race but the 1½ mile test proved too long for her and she finished seventh to winner Lemon Drop Kid.
The heavy parimutuel betting favorite for the 1999 Breeders' Cup Distaff, Silverbulletday was in contention until the stretch drive but then faded and finished sixth to winner Beautiful Pleasure.
Her best results were a win in the Doubledogdare Stakes at Keeneland Race Course and second-place finishes in the Grade II Fleur de Lis and Molly Pitcher Handicaps.
