The Silverbulletday Stakes is a American Thoroughbred horse race run annually at Fair Grounds Race Course in New Orleans, Louisiana in early February. An important prep for developing fillies, the Grade III event is for three-year-olds and set at a distance of one and one sixteenth miles on the dirt on the main track. It offers a purse of $200,000 added.

Inaugurated in 1982, the race was first named for the U.S. Racing Hall of Fame filly, Davona Dale who also has the Davona Dale Stakes at Florida's Gulfstream Park named for her.

Since 2001, it has been named in honor of Silverbulletday, the American Champion Two-Year-Old Filly of 1998, and the American Champion Three-Year-Old Filly of 1999.
