Peter Blum Thoroughbred's hombred Society  turned the $1 million Cotillion Stakes (G1) into a procession as she aired her foes by open lengths Sept. 24 at Parx Racing.

Springing the early lead, the 3-year-old daughter of Gun Runner   rolled unchallenged through early fractions of :23 1/5, 46 3/5 before widening her margin turning for home as she threw down a swift third quarter in 1:10 4/5. Longines Kentucky Oaks (G1) winner Secret Oath  ran on willingly but couldn't touch Society, who soared to the wire well in front under jockey Florent Geroux.


Morning Matcha  rallied up the inside late to best Secret Oath for second.

Trained by Steve Asmussen, Society ran the 1 1/16 miles in 1:42 4/5. She notched her second straight graded score after taking last month's Charles Town Oaks (G3).

Society is her second-crop sire's fourth grade 1 winner this year
