THE SOCIAL ANGLE WITH MARIN LE COUR GRANDMAISON 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. We caught up with Marin Le Cour Grandmaison, Deputy Director at Hippodrome Chantilly, to talk about how they use social media to share insights from the training grounds and the racecourse in Chantilly.

We can say that our benefit is to share our industry. Horse racing is unknown for many but our social media accounts allow us to show people how it works and how the horses are trained. It is also a perfect way of sharing information with trainers and owners.

TDN: What social channels do you prefer, and what type of content do you post on each platform?

MCG: We started with a Facebook page three or four years ago, and more recently we also opened a Twitter and an Instagram Marin Le Cour Grandmaison | Hippodrome Chantilly account. We are no social media experts, we mainly work with TDN: What are the benefits of social media marketing for the tracks. But we have found that Facebook and Instagram are businesses in the Thoroughbred industry? more for the general public - people who like horses - and they like to see beautiful photos such as horses training in the sunrise. MCG: When my boss Matthieu Vincent and I created our social Twitter is more professional. Most of the trainers have got media accounts, it wasn't about benefits. It was more about Twitter accounts and this is where we would share more detailed sharing our passion. We work in a beautiful place and we felt information, such as the state of the ground on all racedays, or that we had to share it. People from all over the world have information about horses. People like to see photos there too, heard about Chantilly, but few are blessed enough to have the but on Twitter it doesn't really matter if it's sunrise or if it's grey opportunity to visit. So, we wanted to give people an idea about and rainy! But we stay out of politics and journalism, because the industry here, and with social media that is so easy to do. that is not our job. We only share positive things. TDN EUROPE/INTERNATIONAL • PAGE 7 OF 12 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • 11 AUGUST, 2017

The Social Angle Cont. TDN: How do you measure success? Can you convert social media followers into customers? TDN: You have more than 10,000 followers on your Facebook page. What's the secret? MCG: We don't measure success, but each time we organise an event we share all the information on social media, and invite MCG: We post a couple of times per week, and most of it is people.

We just post what we see, what we think is businesses that want to increase their social media use? interesting, and that keeps it personal and very close to our followers. A video we posted last year after a big storm, with MCG: It doesn't have to be complicated. We don't have a person horses walking through water on the track, got more than working with social media or marketing. We just take photos 400,000 views.

A >CHANCE= TO MAKE THEIR MARK MR. D. & THE MILLION: by Joe Bianca A FIRE, THE FUTURE AND A little less than two years ago, Nat Rea of Regis Farms left the horse racing business by dispersing his stock at the Keeneland PURE FORTITUDE November sale. Two months before that, however, Rea had sold his Versailles farm to a new entity in American horse racing named Bonne Chance Farm. Little was divulged at the time about the transaction or the buyers, other than that they represented a Brazilian stakeholder, and they hadn't made much news in racing since the sale. Now though, with a pair of impressive debut winners in July and a runner-up finish in a Grade II last weekend, Bonne Chance is starting to gather steam, and appears on the verge of realizing the potential it sought when buying Regis.

DRIVEN BY SPEED (f, 3, Overdriven--Spooked {SP}, by Silver Ghost) showed little in two tries sprinting on dirt in May 2016 and returning from a long layoff Apr. 9, but broke through with a class drop to capture a $40,000 maiden tagger going seven furlongs over the Belmont turf May 4. Sent postward as the second choice at a shade under 4-1 here, the gray cleared the field and cut out fractions of :23.10 and :46.85 beneath John Velazquez. Finding more in the lane, she held off a late bid from Amazing Anne (Freud) to prevail by a half-length. Spooked is also responsible for a 2-year-old colt by Overanalyze named Mind Bottling and a weanling filly by Commissioner. She visited Commissioner again this spring.

She showed an upbeat tab mostly on dirt and broke alertly enough before into a stalking fourth out in the clear. She mounted a three-wide bid to put the pressure on 3-2 second timer Blue Atlas (English Channel) turning for home, but that one seemed to have her measure as they hit the top of the lane. Kept after by Irad Ortiz while now scraping paint inside of Codrington (Courageous Cat), she snuck inside of the leader in midstretch as Codrington took over out wide. That pair dueled to the wire, with Dooder prevailing by a half-length. The winner is the first foal out of Wild Grace (Forest Wildcat), an $85,000 KEESEP purchase in 2010 who scored twice turf sprinting-- including once here--for breeder and co-owner Jay Hanley and Brown. Hanley owns the likes of turf superstar Lady Eli (Divine Park) along with longtime friend Sol Kumin of Sheep Pond Partners (for more, read Eli-te Company). Sheep Pond signed the $260,000 ticket when Dooder sold at last year=s Fasig-Tipton New York-bred Preferred Yearling Sale. Wild Grace, who hails from the extended female family of Grade I winners Fantastic Find, Dancing Spree, Furlough and Finder=s Fee, has a yearling filly by Blame catalogued for Sunday=s Fasig-Tipton New York- bred session as hip 495.
