Owned by Zilli Racing Stables, and trained by Michael De Paulo, Cool Society heads into the $100,000 Victorian Queen Stakes, a six-furlong main track event for Ontario-sired two-year-old fillies, off a winning effort, a victory that saw the filly elevated to first after she was bumped at the top of the stretch.

Crossing the line second, a neck behind the winner, the Cool Society showed plenty of fight down the lane after rallying from fifth, 3 ½-lengths back of the leader, at the stretch call.

De Paulo, just one win shy of 850 for his career, was pleased by the gumption displayed by Cool Society.
