Gun Song might have punched her ticket to next month’s Grade 1, $1 million Cotillion on Saturday, when she darted to a 2 1/2-length win over Impel in the $200,000 Cathryn Sophia at Parx Racing. It was another nose back in third to Wonder Ride. The Cathryn Sophia served as the local stepping-stone to the Cotillion. It was one of six stakes on the Smarty Jones card Saturday at Parx. Gun Song ($5.20) moved to the lead after breaking from the rail and set fractions of 22.89 seconds for the opening quarter, 47.05 for the half-mile, and 1:12.66 for six furlongs. She went on to cover the mile and 70 yards on a fast track in 1:44.22. Jose Lezcano was aboard for trainer Mark Hennig.   “I was a little concerned when I saw the first quarter pop up, but they kind of backed off and let her settle into stride,” Hennig said in a post-race interview broadcast by Parx. “She was pretty tough from then on.” Hennig said Gun Song could return for the Cotillion. “That’s why we came here, we wanted to get a race over the track and see how she handled it,” he said. “So, at least that keeps this door open, and we’ll see how she’s doing when the time comes.” :: Subscribe to the DRF Post Time Email Newsletter: Get the news you need to play today's races!  Gun Song was winning her second career stakes behind the Grade 2 Black-Eyed Susan.
