After winning her July 28 debut, Woodstock tried the turf at Kentucky Downs before returning to the dirt for the 6 ½-furlong Gaylord. Breaking from the outside post in the field of nine, Woodstock battled for second with Hot Crazy Matrix, some three lengths off the pace set by Echos of Violence. Midway on the turn, Woodstock made her move on the leader and ran by in a matter of strides at the top of the stretch. She put six lengths on the field in upper stretch and coasted home to finish in 1:17.49 on a fast track.
Woodstock is owned by Paradise Farms Corp., David Staudacher, Gata Racing Stable LLC and Turman Racing Stable LLC and was purchased on behalf of her owners for $100,000 at the 2025 OBS March sale by trainer Mike Maker.
Woodstock was bred in Kentucky by Southern Comfort Farm LLC. The dark bay filly’s fourth dam is Natalma, dam of the immortal Northern Dancer.
