Chilukki and Silverbulletday, a pair of former super fillies from the Bob Baffert barn, hope the salt air and warm breezes blowing off the Jersey shore can restore some luster to their tarnished reputations when they race today at Monmouth Park.

Chilukki was the fastest thing on four feet last summer, winning her first six starts, and was named champion 2-year-old filly despite finishing second as the favorite in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies.

This year, she’s 0-for-2, running second in the Davona Dale at Gulfstream and a distant eighth in the Fair Grounds Oaks. Now, after three straight defeats going a mile and a sixteenth, the daughter of champion sprinter Cherokee Run drops back to six furlongs for the $75,000 Regret Stakes and gets a new rider in Corey Nakatani.

Coming off a series of bullet workouts at Churchill Downs, Chilukki figures to find the winner’s circle for the first time since October.

Through the first year and a half of her career, Silverbulletday was one of the best distaffers ever to look through a bridle. She was 6-for-7 as champion 2-year-old filly in 1998, then won eight of her first nine starts last year, the only loss coming in the Belmont Stakes. She was unanimously named champion again.

But Silverbulletday lost her last two starts at 3 and is just 1-for-3 as a 4-year-old while failing to display the devastating kick around the far turn that’s been her trademark.

She faces six other older fillies and mares today in the Grade 2, $300,000 Molly Pitcher Handicap, but none the quality of Heritage of Gold, who beat Silverbulletday her last pair. Last summer, coming off her defeat in the Belmont, she won the Monmouth Oaks by five lengths. Look for her to rebound again.
