MONDIALISTE TEAMSTRIKES FOR LORD
GLITTERS
By Emma Berry
DEAUVILLE, France--Three years ago, Mondialiste (Ire) (Galileo
{Ire}) was sold from the draft of Wertheimer at Frere at Arqana's
Summer Sale for i190,000 before going on to win GI Woodbine
Mile and GI Arlington Million in the two subsequent seasons.
The team behind the stallion, who remains in training with David
O'Meara at the age of seven, returned to Deauville in the hope
of finding a horse to emulate his globetrotting success and
plumped for Lord Glitters (Fr), a 4-year-old son of Whipper (Ire).
The four-time winner, who was runner-up in last year's Listed
Grand Prix du Lion d'Angers, was sold through the consignment
of trainer Christophe Lotoux for i270,000 as lot 357.
"He's been bought for Geoff Turnbull of Elwick Stud,"
confirmed O'Meara after his assistant Jason Kelly had signed the
docket. "We'll get him home and see how we go but we hope
he'd be able to be campaigned internationally in the future.
While Lord Glitters topped the horses-in-training section of the
Thursday's session, he fell just shy of the top price for the whole
sale. That honour went to lot 199, the 10-year-old Tiger Hill (Ire)
mare Sailor Moon (Ire), who was sold through Patrick
Chedeville's Haras du Petit Tellier for i280,000.

"She is for Ecurie des Monceaux and some partners,"explained Henri Bozo. "I am very fond of this family which hasbeen developed by Haras de la LouviPre. It's a good-lookingfamily and very active.

THE SOCIAL ANGLE
Jane Davis
WITH JANE DAVIS, CONNOLLY'S RED MILLS By Amie Karlsson
More and more businesses in the thoroughbred industry are
using social media to strengthen their brand and reach out to
current and potential customers and clients. Jane Davis, Equine
Brand Manager at Connolly's RED MILLS, shares her insights on
their strategies for social media marketing.
TDN: What are the benefits of social media marketing for
businesses in the Thoroughbred industry?
JD: From our perspective, social media offers the opportunity to
connect with our customers and our online audience and share
content with them. First and foremost, we use our social media
channels to establish the personality of the brand to give our
followers and people that engage with the content a sense of
what Connolly's RED MILLS represents.
Connolly's RED MILLS is a nutrition company that produces
performance feed for the high performance horse. We are very
lucky to work with some world-class riders, yards and stud farms
and social media gives us an opportunity to share insights into
their stories, experiences and successes.

Social Angle cont.
JD: We also engage in a wide variety of event sponsorships
across both the racing and sport horse industries and again
social media allows us to shine a light on this activity and share
our message.
It is important for us that we also use the platforms to share
information about our products and to share nutritional advice
and insights.
TDN: What social channels do you prefer, and what type of
content do you post on each platform?
JD: One of our biggest challenges when using social media is that
we talk to quite a few different audiences. We focus
predominantly on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube,
and we can see that different audiences use different platforms.
With the thoroughbred media and the trainers, jockeys and
breeders, we see strong engagement on Twitter. The show
jumping audience is more active on Instagram.
We try to create engaging and informative content that is
relevant to our audience. Content on Twitter needs to be news
worthy and in real time. On Facebook, we use very good imagery
and video. The racing industry provides such stunning, beautiful
imagery and that is something we are trying to make the most
of.
TDN: Do you look at other organisations, inside or outside the
Thoroughbred world, for inspiration?
JD: Yes, I follow all sorts of brands from different industries and I
enjoy seeing how they tailor their content. You can learn some
things that are done well, and you can learn some things that
aren't done well.
I think that the racecourses and the racing authorities in
Ireland and Britain do a beautiful job in creating content. The
Irish National Stud, with their videos or mares and foals, is
another good example from our industry.
TDN: How do you measure the success and popularity of yoursocial media content?
JD: Engagement, video views, link clicks and traffic to yourwebsite are all so easy to track and measure and that is thebeauty of digital marketing. I set different objectives for ourcampaigns, for example to capture e-mail data, or get entries toa competition. And some other posts are just fun and engagingpieces. It also allows you to experiment and adapt your content. Youcan come up with new content and measure its performance.Sometimes it is the simplest things that get the mostengagement. Just that one beautiful picture of a horse breezingor in full flight. We had one incredible picture of Ballycasey andRuby Walsh jumping a fence at Gowran Park and that got anunbelievable amount of engagement on both Facebook andTwitter. It can sometimes be surprising to see what works andwhat doesn't. Cont. p5

Social Angle cont.
JD: I always measure the engagement and the reach we are
getting from the posts, and if that is organic or paid for. I want
to see organic - unpaid - reach and engagement, because that
shows that something really caught the eye of the user. People
are engaging with their social media predominantly via mobile
and on the go, and a post must be vibrant and interesting to
catch people's imagination and hopefully get them to engage
with that piece of content.
TDN: What are the biggest mistakes to avoid making?
JD: As a brand we try to have a very positive tone on social
media. We are quite celebratory of the industry and the sport
that we are a part of and that we are contributing to. I
personally don't like to see brands engage in competition, or
brands that are overly opinionated or negative.
Also, don't be too pushy. I much prefer to see social media used
to make friends, create connections, and share information. Of
course it is also a channel to direct people to more sales focused
information and content, but I see it more as an information
provision and a conversation piece. There must be a balance
between your engaging content and your sales focused content.
TDN: Going forward, what is next on your social media agenda,
and what social media trends are you looking forward to?
JD: Video is high on our agenda, as it is for a lot of brands,
because it is very effective across social media. A challenge is to
reduce the length. Traditional corporate videos might be a
couple of minutes long, but we need to make them much
shorter. We are experimenting a bit with videos and looking at
different content, including live video. There is so much you can
do on your own phone. Video content can be taken at an event
and published live in the moment.
Something else on the agenda is the likes of stories, such as
Snapchat and Instagram stories. Instagram stories is something
that we are trying to embrace when we are onsite on different
events and that has been successful for us. When people can't
get to an event or they can't get to a certain thing, you can use
your social media channels to bring people in and make them
part of that. We also want to do some behind the scenes content
here in Goresbridge. All the feed is manufactured here and we
want to be able to use our social media channel to show people
what goes on behind the scenes.
MUSSELBURGH TO UNDERGO
INDEPENDENT REVIEW Musselburgh Racecourse, which has had its licence
temporarily suspended by the British Horseracing Authority
(BHA) after the body which runs the track, the Musselburgh
Joint Racing Committee (MJRC), failed to agree to an
independent governance review, could return to action as soon
as July 14.
The BHA announced on Thursday that it has received
correspondence from the MJRC and the local East Lothian
Council stating that the review can now go ahead. However, the
agreement contained a number of caveats on which the BHA is
now seeking clarification.
The BHA hopes to confirm no later than 12 noon on Friday,
July 7 whether the licence condition has been met and if
Musselburgh's next fixture a week after that can go ahead as
planned.

JULY SALE COMES AT RIGHTTIME FOR MATHIS STABLE
by Ben Massam
As the co-owner and co-manager of the family-operated,
Oklahoma-based Mathis Brothers Furniture company, Bill
Mathis has spent years focused on cultivating a business with
lasting potential--and the same can be said about his
involvement as a Thoroughbred owner. Initially entering the
game in the early 1980s with his father, Leonard, Mathis
currently operates Mathis Stable alongside his wife, Terry, and
has enjoyed considerable success with the likes of GSW & MGISP
My Miss Sophia (Unbridled=s Song) and MSW & GSP Lira (Giant=s
Causeway). With an eye toward the future, and after the family
patriarch demonstrated waning interest in ownership, the
Mathises recently decided to offer MSW Adorable Miss (Kitten=s
Joy) [Hip 403] and SW Bronson (Medaglia d=Oro) [Hip 411] as
part of the fledgling Elite Sales consignment at the Fasig-Tipton
July Selected Horses of Racing Age sale next Monday.
AThese horses are the last of a crop that my dad was partners
with us on,@ Mathis explained. AHe just doesn=t enjoy or follow
the business as much as he used to. So we thought we=d sell this
last crop while they have so much great potential. We can
continue to go back to September and buy some more horses.@

HENCE SEEKS REBOUND AT PRAIRIE
MEADOWS by Ben Massam
Calumet Farm homebred Hence (Street Boss) generated
significant buzz ahead of the GI Kentucky Derby after notching a
convincing win in the Mar. 26 GIII Sunland Derby--a race that
subsequently yielded GII Toyota Blue Grass S. hero Irap (Tiznow)
and GI Arkansas Derby runner-up Conquest Mo Money (Uncle
Mo). Hence was unable to deliver beneath the Twin Spires,
however, spinning his wheels in an 11th-place finish over a
sealed strip, and followed with an equally disappointing ninth-
place performance in the May 20 GI Preakness S. The handsome
chestnut has an opportunity to stabilize facing a far more
manageable field Friday night in the GIII Iowa Derby at Prairie
Meadows as the 5-1 fourth choice on the morning line.
Conditioned by Hall of Famer Steve Asmussen, Hence has
posted five workouts at Churchill Downs in the wake of his
Preakness run. Cont. p6 (click here)

July Sale Comes at Right Time for Mathis
Stable (cont. from p1)
Mathis continued, AI can understand that you get tired of
everything at some point, and he=s almost 90 years old. He=s not
enjoying it as much as he was at my age.@
While Leonard enjoyed success as the owner of the speedy
MGSW mare Pine Tree Lane and GSW Alabama Nana (Ire) in the
1980s, Bill and Terry Mathis ramped up their involvement in the
game in the early 2010s, spending roughly $3 million at the
2-year-old sales--a departure from his family=s previous
emphasis on securing horses of racing age.
Mathis was quick to acknowledge that the results on the
racetrack were not necessarily congruent with the investment,
leading him to believe that new buyers are better off attaining
proven commodities.
AWhen we first got in this business in the >80s, we had some of
our best luck buying horses that were at the track because you
had so much more expectation about what you were buying,@
Mathis added. AYou could vet them, you could see their race
record, and you were having fun right away. Compared to a
yearling, there is so much that can go wrong and so much time
involved that they change so much in that period of time. It=s
hard for anyone to guess. And then you see what=s happening in
the 2-year-old in training sales where people are paying
$1 million, plus, for horses that can work an eighth of a mile
with no pedigree.@
According to Mathis, the July Sale offers buyers a unique
opportunity to secure stakes performers--such as Adorable Miss
and Bronson--while affording sellers the chance to tailor their
stock.
AThere wasn=t a sale like this--an elite sale--[7-8 years ago],@
Mathis explained. ASo I think it fits a niche. Everyone=s goals and
objectives are different in the business. You buy yearlings and
TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 6 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • JULY 7, 2017
Adorable Miss in the winner=s circle with Bill Mathis (fourth from left) and family | A. Coglianese
have great anticipation and hope, and some of them turn out to
be route horses, some of them turn out to be sprinters, some of
them turn out to be good performers on the turf--and some of
them are ones you can keep as broodmares. Some people want
to keep them as broodmares, and some don=t. There=s just so
much that changes once a horse=s career begins... I think the
sale, over time, will continue to build and be a vehicle for buyers
to achieve different results--and sellers, too.@
The Mathises are well acquainted with horses of racing age
sales, having parted ways with My Miss Sophia for $2.15 million
at the 2014 Fasig-Tipton November sale, and more recently,
returning to that same auction in 2016 to sell Lira for $950,000.
While the July Sale places a clear emphasis on fit-and-ready
racing prospects, Mathis said that Adorable Miss--a full-sister to
2016 GIII Pucker Up S. victress Noble Beauty--possesses
significant residual value as a broodmare prospect once her
racing career has concluded.
AWe have had some good luck,@ Mathis reflected. AFillies
provide you with a parachute, if you will, to make good
broodmares. Adorable Miss is such a beautiful horse--she=ll
undoubtedly have a beautiful foal some day.@
As for the time being, the Mathises spent last weekend in
sunny South Florida watching their two primary July offerings
compete on the turf at Gulfstream Park for trainer Todd
Pletcher. Adorable Miss, a $155,000 KEESEP yearling buy,
notched the second stakes win of her career and third win from
four starts in the one-mile Martha Washington S. [video], while
Bronson rallied from well off the pace to miss by less than a
length in the Not Surprising S. over the same course and
distance.
AWe had a whole lot of fun down at Gulfstream, and we=re
proud of the efforts both horses put in,@ Mathis said. AAdorable
Miss just sat there and waited, and then turning for home, she
got it done. In fact, Tyler [Gaffalione] told me, after he got off
the horse, that he had a ton of more horse [left]. He just showed
her the whip to keep her alert, but he said she had a whole
other gear that he never had to use...Bronson got pushed so
wide, and the other horse coming out of the one-hole got an
easy lead. Speed was holding all day on that turf course--and it
was just too tough for him to make up that much ground in the
last eighth of a mile, but boy, he almost did it.@
Mathis said he believes Bronson has significant room for
improvement at longer distances, while Adorable Miss should
be well positioned to enter the graded stakes ranks in the near
future. The stable=s two-time winner Liberty Kitten (Kitten=s Joy)
will also pass through the ring as part of the Denali Stud

consignment. SW My Miss Tapit (Tapit)--fourth in Saturday=s
GII Mother Goose S. at Belmont--was entered with Elite Sales,
but will scratch and continue to campaign for Mathis Stable.
Equipped with years of experience and business acumen,
Mathis said he has full confidence in the lasting potential of
Bradley Weisbord and Liz Crow=s Elite Sales venture, which
debuts at the July Sale.
ABradley and Liz and that entire team do their homework,@
Mathis commented. AThey want to be a long-term player in the
business. And that=s the only way to be in business--where you
develop a reputation that everyone is happy.@
The Mathises are undoubtedly happy with their position as
owners with a long-term commitment to the game. In many
ways, the 2017 July Sale represents a stopping off point as they
part ways with their current stock and move toward a return to
the yearling sales.
AI look forward to staying in the business,@ he concluded.
AWe=re having so much fun. I would encourage others to jump in
and enjoy it.@
The Fasig-Tipton July Horses of Racing Age sale starts Monday
at 5 p.m. ET in Lexington.

Empire Dreams Retired:
West Point Thoroughbreds=s multiple stakes-winning New
York-bred Empire Dreams (Patriot Act--Ascended Dreams, by
Thunder Gulch) has been retired from racing after suffering an
ankle injury following a workout at Belmont Park, it was
announced Thursday. Trained by Tom Albertrani for most of his
career, the 6-year-old gelding is a five-time stakes winner, with
his most notable victory coming in the 2015 Empire Classic S. He
retires with a record of 6-8-4 from 24 starts and earnings of
$813,751.
AWe=ve been fortunate to campaign some very successful New
York-breds, and Empire Dreams is at the top of the list,@ said
West Point President Terry Finley. AHe rarely threw in a clunker
and provided his partners with a lot of thrills. We opted to have
surgery done at New Bolton to repair a fractured sesamoid in his
ankle to give him the best chance of having a second athletic
career. All of us will miss seeing him gallop by every morning this
summer in Saratoga.@
He was bred in New York by Pegasus Dream Stable.
NYRA Partners With FOX Sports Ohio:
The New York Racing Association (NYRA) and FOX Sports Ohio
have reached an agreement to televise "Belmont Park Live" and

Thursday. Coverage begins Saturday, June 8, with a telecast that
includes Belmont=s Stars and Stripes Racing Festival from 6 p.m.
to 7 p.m. E.T.
"Thanks to Fox Sports, and their regional sports networks
across the country, tens of millions of fans and horseplayers
have access to live coverage of NYRA's world class racing
throughout the year," said Tony Allevato, President of NYRA
Bets and Executive Producer for NYRA television. "We thank
them for their commitment to horse racing and look forward to
presenting our Stars and Stripes Racing Festival this Saturday to
a national audience."
Fox Sports Ohio will air 21 "Saratoga Live" shows beginning on
Monday, July 24 and concluding with the final Saturday of the
2017 Saratoga meet Sept. 2.
Fourth Annual Charles J. Hesse Golf Outing July 24:
The fourth annual Charles J. Hesse Golf Outing, hosted by the
Thoroughbred Breeders' Association of New Jersey, will be held
at Navesink Country Club, Monday, July 24. Proceeds of the
event, which also includes dinner, prizes, raffles, etc., benefit
retired Thoroughbreds of New Jersey through Second Call, a
Thoroughbred adoption and placement program. The late
Hesse, who raced as Char-Mari Stable along with his wife
Marianne, campaigned the millionaire Park Avenue Ball.
AThis is our fourth year,@ said NJTHA Executive Director
Michael Musto. AMarianne had come to us and has always been
a big supporter of Thoroughbred racing and Monmouth Park.
She thought it would be a great gesture to honor Charlie=s
memory by putting together this golf outing. And every year, we
try to raise money for retired horses that have run at
Monmouth Park. She=s been extremely supportive, and without
her, the program probably wouldn=t have gotten off the ground.
In the four years, we=ve raised somewhere around $500,000 for
retired horses.@
Event director Liz Dowd Mosca added, AIn the past number of
years, it has really grown. This is our fourth year and Monmouth
University is our signature sponsor. It is a very popular event.
We were almost sold out before we even had our brochures
made! We are trying a new concept this year, and the dinner is
much more interactive, with interactive raffles."
To purchase dinner/golf tickets or learn about available
sponsorship opportunities: contact Liz Dowd Mosca at 732-239-
