Last seen in the winner=s circle after the G1 Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster in late October, the June 7 G1 runner-up was disappointing when only fourth in the G1 Eclipse S. at Sandown four weeks later, but has enjoyed a brief break and holds a form edge over these rivals. AKingston Hill is in great form and has been training nicely,@ trainer Roger Varian commented. AI am very pleased with him and we are looking forward to running him.@ Chief among the opposition is Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum=s Hartnell (GB) (Authorized {Ire}), who is G1 St Leger bound after wins in Royal Ascot=s G3 Queen=s Vase over two miles June 20 and the G3 Bahrain Trophy over 13 furlongs at Newmarket July 10. He needs to prove he has the speed to cope with these colts and reverse earlier form with Khalid Abdullah=s Snow Sky (GB) (Nayef), who had him two lengths back in second when winning the May 10 Listed Lingfield Derby Trial. Subsequently, the Juddmonte homebred has garnered the G3 Gordon S. at Goodwood July 30 and bids to emulate the 2002 winner Bandari (Ire) (Alhaarth {Ire}) in completing the Gordon-Voltigeur double. AI was pleased with him at Goodwood and he=s a bit of a playboy, so he got a little bit hot beforehand but it was nothing to worry about,@ jockey said. AI was pleased with him in the race. I probably got there a bit too soon on him and he idled a bit, but he knuckled down and galloped to the line.@ Aidan O=Brien saddles a duo, with Joseph O=Brien on the unexposed Granddukeoftuscany (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), who scored by 19 lengths in an extended 12- furlong maiden at Tipperary June 26 and could be anything. AHe is a horse that got a mile and a half well the last time, so you would think and hope that he would probably get further in time,@ his trainer said with one eye on the Leger. AIt is a big step up from a maiden to a Group 2, so we=ll see how he gets on and discuss plans after that. But obviously we would be hoping he might turn into that type of horse.@ Field p5

2014 ABC RUNNERS: GALILEO NIPS SPEIGHTSTOWN Finding a racehorse that makes money is a challenge. By our calculations, only 8% of all the runners in North America in 2013 earned $53,500 or more ($53,492, to be precise). Recent studies show that it takes about $50,000, if not more, to have a horse in training at the major tracks for a year. So we have a rule of thumb, which is that a horse has to qualify as an ABC Runner-- to be among the top 8% of runners--in order to for us to call it a Abreak-even or better@ racehorse. Of course, if they do achieve Abreak-even or better@ status, the sky=s the limit. But even once you get one in training, the odds are roughly 11 to 1 that, in any given year, it will become an ABC Runner. APEX ratings take snapshots, twice a year, of what the stallion picture looked like at that moment. We took that picture on July 8, a tick over halfway through the 2014 season. At that moment, the top 8% of North American earners had made $41,668. So, as we explained with A Runners, a horse can be an ABC Runner now, but might not qualify as one at the end of the year if they don=t achieve what will then be the year-end 8% threshold. Given that caveat, Coolmore=s Galileo was the WinStar doubles up in the top three by 2014 ABC number one NA/EU sire of 2014 ABC Runners through Runners through July 8 with Tiznow (35), while July 8, with 39. This wouldn=t be a huge surprise, since Coolmore doubles up in the top five with Giant=s yesterday=s TDN Year-to-Date General Sire List (click Causeway, tied with Gainesway=s Tapit, number one on here) tells us that he has 29 black-type winners (BTW), the North American 49 black-type horses (BTH), of which 20 of the BTW General Sire List; they are graded/group stakes winners (GSW) and 37 are each had 34 ABC graded/group stakes horses (GSH) in 2014. But Runners. Lane=s End WinStar=s Speightstown was running him close in claims the next two number of 2014 ABC Runners, with 38. Speightstown spots with City Zip (31) has always scored very high on the APEX scales and, and Smart Strike (30), as a son of Gone West who has always done well in followed by WinStar=s Europe (2.07 European A Index), his popularity is likely Distorted Humor (28). to continue to grow.

TDN: What is the purpose of the brand ambassadors? SP: Last year they traveled around from event to event and this year we placed them in those four markets. They are bringing a lot of people to the races and providing content. They write blogs, tweet, Facebook post, etc. It is a constant circle of attracting new fans to the sport, converting them, immersing them and then they turn around and become ambassadors for us. They share their experience at the track. We are attracting a Stephen Panus more youthful audience to the sport, around 18 to 40 years old, but we have content for everybody. We spend an inordinate amount of time trying to distribute our content to social media and we know where that target audience lives and consumes content. We have found that we were successfully able to create a website and provide content.

TDN: What are some other methods you employ besides social media and blogging? SP: We have several contests and the most recent is the AUltimate 48", which was won by a 26-year-old attorney from New York, who is going to go to the Travers. The content is a 48-hour whirlwind weekend where the winner and three friends get flown into New York and Saratoga for the Travers on Saturday and on Sunday morning they get flown to San Diego to go to They may have a negative perception or none at all, Del Mar and experience the Pacific Classic on Sunday but then they get to the races and it is a game changer. evening.

That leads people to go back and share their experience with their friends, like "Hey I TDN: Which of your methods (i.e. blogs, contests, etc.) went to Saratoga and had a great weekend. Did you has proven most successful in driving viewers to the know you could do this, this and this?" Or I went to website? Arlington Million and won a $100 because I got a tip SP: It starts with content. You have got to have good from a brand ambassador. They tell their family and content if you want people to look at your website, so friends and it grows from there, so it is very much we take pride in the small and nimble staff that runs grassroots. The three Triple Crown races brought in a ABR and the efforts of the brand ambassadors. It is a collective audience of 45 million people. Those are collaborative approach, but it starts with the content number that other sports would kill for. So there is an and then the distribution on media platforms and social interest in horse racing, it just has to be shared more media. We have created, in a very short term, a robust, with people. Obviously increased television with the active following, which says the content we are Breeders' Cup challenge series and The Jockey Club producing resonates with people. One of the most events on FOX Sports 1 helps that effort. important factors is getting people to the track and once they get to the track, they experience something.

TDN: Are you able to track how many fans are new or in the millennial age range? SP: If you look at traditional industry sites, most of their audience is over the age of 56. If you look at our numbers, they are the exact opposite. We get 60% of our audience under the age of 54 and a third of our audience is under the age of 40. Are we completely happy with where we are? No, but we are a 2-year-old brand that has definitely penetrated the generation. We have influential bloggers across multiple platforms and categories, from fashion, to lifestyle, to foodies.

This is a marathon, not a sprint and the numbers we are seeing show we are definitely making an impact and there is definitely room to grow. The millennial generation has seen that horse racing is affordable, entertaining and different than other sporting events.

TDN: Who are you are contributors? SP: They are people like David Hill, who is a freelance writer, who writes for the New Yorker and Dead Spin. We have folks who have experience in the racing industry and look to share their knowledge and passion in a way that translates and resonates with new fans. They are able to write in a user friendly manner that newcomers can understand. We look at our site as educainment, we are educating and entertaining at the same time.

While we are hyper-focused with more tracks and partners in growing the sport. I on bringing the next generation to the sport, we are not think collectively we can do a lot more than any one exclusive. We want everyone to read our site. There is track can do individually. People are interested in the something for everyone and that is what horse racing sport, but are somewhat intimidated at times by the is, but if the sport is going to grow there has to be lack of knowledge. To me, that creates an opportunity someone to focus on the next generation. That is the to welcome them in and to educate them about all the niche that we are filling. entertaining aspects involved in horse racing. The sky is the limit, as they say. This is an affordable TDN: How much of your efforts is not only bringing entertainment option. There are so many different people into the track, but teaching them to gamble in touch points to get involved in horse racing and attract order to increase track handle? people to the sport. The possibilities truly are endless SP: If it was that easy, I think every track would have for the sport to grow. More and more people are that recipe mastered. The first step is you have to bring blogging about the sport. There is a renewed interest in people to the track and then you have to educate them, California Chrome. The interest that horse awakened in and that is what we are focused on.
