Description
THUNDEROUS
THUNDEROUS was a $120,000 purchase from the 2023 January Gold Coast Sale and is by champion sire Night Of Thunder, sire of Australian Group 1 winner Kukeracha. He is from the Exceed And Excel mare Mia Diva, who was a winner at two and is a full-sister to the Group winning mare Queen Of Bermuda. Exceed And Excel mares have a terrific record of producing high quality horses with fourteen individual Group 1 winners including Australian stars Astern and Alizee. Thunderous showed very good ability early in his two-year-old season and debuted in the $1million Golden Gift at Rosehill in November 2023. He has only had three race starts to date and at the most recent he finished seventh beaten just over five lengths on Wednesday 20/3 at Wyong. He would be better suited in a slightly less competitive racing jurisdiction with connections looking to focus on Metropolitan level horses.
Thunderous stands at approximately 15.1 hands high. He has a lovely temperament and is a very genuine colt.
