The Bugler Overnight Stakes is a $135,000 sprint for fillies and mares 4 years old and up who have never won a sweepstakes other than state-bred or restricted races. This 6-furlong dirt event drew a field of 12 contenders and was originally scheduled for January 31 but rescheduled due to winter weather cancellations. The race offers a tactical speed advantage on Oaklawn’s dirt oval, with early pace likely from inside posts and potential for closers if the front end duels. Morning-line favorite Blue Fire brings strong class from recent stakes placings, but value could be found in proven sprinters like Foie Gras and Queen’s Martini.
