ETOBICOKE, Ontario – While horse racing fans and handicappers are used to seeing Roger Attfield’s name as the trainer of record for stakes-winning horses, they may not be as familiar with the Hall of Famer listed as the winning breeder. But Attfield recorded a stakes win as a trainer, owner, and breeder on Nov. 16, when Gun Society captured the South Ocean Stakes by a half-length over Owlette. Attfield said his venture into breeding came by chance. He had purchased Double Guns Girl out of the 2010 CTHS yearling sale for $72,000 and raced the daughter of Langfuhr with Harlequin Ranches. She won her second start, earning a 72 Beyer Speed Figure while going long on the turf, and appeared to have promise, but did not win another race. She was retired following her 4-year-old campaign of 2013. “She developed little things that stopped her from being the kind of horse I thought she should have been,” Attfield said. “When she came to the end of her racing career, I figured I’d sell her or maybe breed her. It was just a whim really.” Double Guns Girl’s first two foals both made it to the races this year. Twomanyshots, a 3-year-old daughter of Not Bourbon, has recorded a runner-up finish from three starts, which include a fifth this past Saturday, while Gun Society, a daughter of Society’s Chairman, has hit the board in five of her six starts, including her stakes win. Attfield said he also is excited about a yearling out of Double Guns Girl by Run Away and Hide, the sire of Attfield’s Canadian champion Are You Kidding Me, and about a weanling who is a full sister to Gun Society. Attfield said Double Guns Girl is in foal to English Channel. Double Guns Girl is a half-sister to Quake Lake, dam of 2019 Kentucky Derby winner Country House. “She looks like she’s going to be a pretty good broodmare,” Attfield said. “She’s related to the Kentucky Derby winner this year and her pedigree is getting stronger all of the time, so it’s going to be an interesting project.” Attfield said Gun Society would be sent to his winter base at Payson Park training center in Florida for some well-deserved time off. Attfield added she would likely return to training in February and may get a start in Florida or at Keeneland before returning to Woodbine for her 3-year-old campaign. “She’s obviously pretty versatile,” Attfield said. “She’s run on both surfaces and she’s done it well. She’s trained like a pretty decent filly, actually, and I think the longer she goes on the turf, the better she’ll be. If she’s Ontario-sired material, that’s where she’ll stay, and if she’s better then that’s fine, too.”
