Juveniles share the Grade 3 stakes spotlight Sunday at Woodbine on a card that features the Grey and the Mazarine.

A son of Mosler out of the Street Cry mare Keep Right, Thundering arrives at the Grey, a 1 1/16-mile main track event for 2-year-olds, off a top-shelf score in the seven-furlong Display Stakes on Oct. 13.

Trained by Patrick Dixon for owner and breeder Dastur Racing, the bay, under Eswan Flores, sat off the pace before powering to the lead in upper stretch en route to a 1 1/4-length victory in 1:23.64.

“It seems like the further he goes, the better he gets,” Dixon said. “I think that performance gave us even more confidence that we can stretch him out and test him a little bit more. He seems like he will enjoy going further.

“I was just so excited (watching the stretch drive) and so happy for the owners. And for him to be what we thought he was, that was great. You can always hope they will be what they are showing you in the spring, but to see it come true was quite amazing. It was special to see him hit the lead and then keep going.”

Thundering debuted Sept. 15 at Woodbine and finished third in a seven-furlong maiden special weight race.

The Maryland-bred sat outside along the backstretch before going four to five wide on the turn and advancing to be six-deep at the top of the lane. Despite drifting in, Thundering secured the show placing, 3 ¼ lengths behind the winner.

“It was very good,” Dixon said. “He had a bad break. He got bumped coming out of the gate and he was a little bit green. It looked like he was trying to find his feet early on and wondering why everyone else was going so fast.

“When he finally found his feet, he had to go wide of everybody, and then he was looking at everyone in the grandstand coming down the lane. It was a lot for him to take in his first race. We were very, very happy with the result.”

As they were with the display in the Display.

“It was great watching that effort, to see him dig in and to see that determination he had. The owners love him. They come and see him all the time, so for them to have him – they don’t have many horses – and to be a homebred, it’s special.”

Dixon is hopeful lightning can strike twice for his burgeoning rookie.

“He came out of the race so well, it seemed like it was morning gallop for him and he was very happy after it. He’s doing well, he’s eating well, and it seems like he’s enjoying himself.

“We are coming back three weeks after his last race, but he is doing great. It’s a step up and this will be the furthest he has run, but he looks like he’s ready for the challenge.”

Dixon will also be represented by the supplemented Coolcollected.

Stakes-placed with a third in the Soaring Free, the son of Collected is 4: 1-0-1 for owner Colebrook Farms.

“He’s doing phenomenally well and he’s training well too,” Dixon said of the horse bred in Kentucky by Brereton Jones. “Ryan (Munger, jockey) was on him for a nice breeze (five furlongs in 1:01.60) on the main track this Sunday.

“We have always liked this horse, and we are expecting him to run well.”

The Mazarine, a 1 1/16-mile main track test for 2-year-old fillies, will mark the first stakes test for Social Code.

Trained by multiple graded stakes winner Steve Flint for CamHaven Farms, nom du course of Tony and Shirley Camilleri, the daughter of Constitution out of the Animal Kingdom mare Davida broke her maiden in style on Sept. 28 at Woodbine in a race originally scheduled for the turf.

With Jason Hoyte in the irons, Social Code, at 11-1, was bumped at the start of the 6 1/2-furlong sprint but recovered to sit mid-pack in the field of seven through an opening quarter in 23.51 seconds. Fifth after a half in 47.61, she lost ground on the turn and was shuffled back before being shifted to the outside to strike front nearing the sixteenth pole.

Social Code edged past the 3-2 choice late and went on to notch a 1 ¼-length win in 1:18.44.

“I thought she made a good account of herself,” Flint said. “The race was going to be on the turf and when it came off, I knew she would tolerate the Tapeta, but she overcame a ton first time out.

“She has a phenomenal turf pedigree. Her mother is a half-sister to (multiple graded=stakes winner) Bricks and Mortar. Eventually, her future, I believe, would be on the grass, but we are looking forward to this next race.”

Bred in Kentucky by CHC Inc., Social Code had a series of works over various surfaces at Woodbine, including a five-furlong breeze from the gate in 1:02.60, on Aug. 31 and a pair of breezes Sept. 8 and Sept. 20 on the turf training track.

The filly took to the dirt training track on Oct. 28 for a four-furlong breeze in 49.20 seconds.

“She came out of her last race great, and she came out of that last work very well. We’ll have to see how she handles a larger field and tougher company, but we hope she elevates from her first start.

“Obviously, she wants to go further. She is 17.2 hands tall and weighs probably somewhere in the range of 1,300 pounds, so she is very imposing.”

With a personality to match.

“She looks as sweet as pie, but she is one tough customer,” Flint said.

Social Code was a $15,000 purchase at the 2023 Keeneland September yearling sale.

“You can see the passion Tony and Shirley have for this sport and for the horses. These people put their heart and soul in the business, and they have a wonderful facility, you couldn’t ask for a better one, just west of Woodbine.

“We have been able to go to the sales over the past two years and make some very nice purchases, this filly included. She is the first horse I bought for them. We bought seven last year and nine this year at the sales, so we are moving in the right direction and hopefully, we can build a race stable of their dreams.”

Other starters include Presque Isle Debutante Stakes winner Foxtastic, Charlotte’s Heart, runner-up in the Glorious Song Stakes, Ready for Candy, second in the Catch A Glimpse Stakes, and last time out winner Aristella.

First post for the 10-race card is 1:10 p.m. EST.
