TORONTO, July 3, 2020 \u2013 Six fillies, including Gun Society, vie for top prize in Sunday\u2019s $125,000 Fury Stakes, at Woodbine.<\/p>\n

A daughter of Society\u2019s Chairman, Gun Society arrives at the seven-furlong Fury (for Canadian-foaled three-year-old fillies), a key race on the road to the Woodbine Oaks presented by Budweiser (August 15), and possible date in the Queen\u2019s Plate (September 12), off a half-length score in the South Ocean Stakes in November.<\/p>\n

Bred, owned and trained by dual Hall of Fame inductee Roger Attfield, Gun Society is listed at 30-1 in the Queen\u2019s Plate Winterbook<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to have started before this race, but we had a little setback,\u201d said Attfield, who also campaigned Society\u2019s Chairman. \u201cI need to get her started, so I was looking at this race anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gun Society debuted on July 20, 2019, in a six-furlong test over the Toronto oval\u2019s E.P. Taylor Turf Course, finishing fourth over \u2018good\u2019 going.<\/p>\n

After a pair of third-place efforts and a second \u2013 all on the Woodbine grass \u2013 Gun Society broke her maiden in the penultimate start of her rookie year. Under Kazushi Kimura, the chestnut eked out a nose win in a 1 1\/16-mile race run on the Woodbine Inner Turf.<\/p>\n

In the final start of her two-year-old campaign, Gun Society stepped up to the stakes ranks, and delivered a 7-1 upset in the main track South Ocean on November 16.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was a little bit surprised [at her odds],\u201d offered Attfield. \u201cShe did seem like she was improving all the time. It was the perfect fit for her at that time in her life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Attfield was pleased with the development of his filly throughout 2019, including the ability to handle both turf and Tapeta.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe has the pedigree to run long. She\u2019s very closely related to the Kentucky Derby winner [Country House] from last year. I think she\u2019s going to get better going longer. Seven furlongs, in the Fury, is the place to get her started. So, that\u2019s where we are, really.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other contenders include Avie\u2019s Samurai, a dark bay daughter of First Samurai. Bred and owned by Ivan Dalos, the Josie Carroll trainee fashions a mark of 2-1-2 from seven starts. Carroll also sends out Grade 3 Mazarine Stakes champ Curlin\u2019s Voyage (6-1, third choice in the Queen\u2019s Plate Winterbook), who finished second but was elevated to first in the 1 1\/16-mile main track stakes last October. She was named Canada\u2019s Champion Two-Year-Old Filly for her $265,000 juvenile campaign.<\/p>\n

NHL star Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is the co-owner of undefeated filly Infinite Patience. Bred and co-owned by William DeCoursey, the decorated bay daughter of Sungold is a perfect five-for-five. Her last four victories have all come in stakes events at Hastings Racecourse in Vancouver.<\/p>\n

The Fury represents her three-year-old debut.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s very impressive and last year was so great,\u201d Nugent-Hopkins told Woodbine<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m pretty lucky to have partnered with her breeder. It\u2019s really been fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last year, Mark Casse trainees Speedy Soul, Hastalavistababy and Western Curl swept the top three spots in the Fury.<\/p>\n

The Fury is Race 9 on Sunday\u2019s 11-race card. First post time is 1 p.m. Fans can watch and wager on all the action via HPIbet.com.<\/p>\n
