Marketing Mix marvellous in G1 Gamely Stakes

Making her seasonal debut, five-year-old Medaglia d'Oro mare Marketing Mix once again dominated foes on the turf in the G1 Gamely Stakes at Hollywood May 27.

In the 1800m race, Marketing Mix settled in third position stalking the pace. Entering the final turn she traveled wide to take on the leaders and finished strongly in the straight to record  a tough victory for owner Glen Hill Farm.

Also a winner of the G1 Rodeo Drive Stakes, turf specialist Marketing Mix has now added an impressive sixth Group victory to her record and her earnings exceed $1.8 million. Bred by Sean Fitzhenry, Marketing Mix is out of Instant Thought, by Kris S. Marketing Mix's second dam is Group-placed Nimble Mind, a full-sister to G1 winner Contredance and Group winners Skimble and Shotiche.

Medaglia d'Oro continues to be a successful sire of talent on all surfaces. In addition to Marketing Mix, his nine G1 winners include Horse Of The Year Rachel Alexandra, G1 Kentucky Oaks winner Plum Pretty, and G1 CashCall Futurity winner Violence. Other 2013 Graded Stakes winners for the sire are Dark Cove, Live Lively, Rydilluc, and Coffee Clique. 

Medaglia d'Oro was the leading first-season sire at this year's Inglis Easter yearling sale and will stand the coming breeding season at Kelvinside at a fee of $55,000 inc. GST.
