The $250,000 Acorn Stakes (G1) for 3-year-old fillies, 9-2 fourth choice Bushfire had the lead down the backstretch through a half in 45.00, then was passed on the turn by 9-1 shot Hello Liberty. However, through the stretch Bushfire battled back in a duel to the line to prevail by a neck in 1:35.89 for the 1 mile trip over the fast main track. It was 1 3/4 lengths back to 15-1 Last Romance in third, while 8-5 favorite Adieu failed to fire and disappointed in fourth. Miraculous Miss reared up in the gate, kicking Wonder Lady Anne L in the adjacent stall, resulting in both fillies being scratched late.

Winning jockey Alex Solis said, "Those were some fast fractions going against the wind. She's a real nice filly. She really dug in when that filly came to her. She just kept trying and trying. "
