Marketing Mix marvelous 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 one-and-one-eighth-mile race Marketing Mix settled into third position to stalk the pace. Entering the final turn she traveled wide to take on leaders, and battled down the lane to a strong 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 Graded Stakes 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 Graded Stakes-placed Nimble Mind, a full-sister to G1 winner Contredance and Graded Stakes 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 has sired a total of 22 Graded/Group winners to date.
