Thunder Snow Takes Aim At BC Classic

Godolphin’s Dubai World Cup winner Thunder Snow (Ire) (Helmet {Aus}) was seen in public for the first time since his Meydan triumph during a morning gallop at Newmarket’s July Course on Thursday.

The 4-year-old was ridden by Pat Cosgrave and accompanied by stablemates Leader’s Legacy (War Front) and Game Starter (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) for a 10-furlong workout just after 7am. Having been freshened up after a busy winter campaign which saw him never out of the first two in four starts in Dubai, Thunder Snow has the GI Breeders’ Cup Classic as his end-of-season aim but more immediately could be seen in action next month in the G1 Juddmonte International at York.

“That was nice work for him,” said his trainer Saeed Bin Suroor as the trio returned to the parade ring for a cool-down. “He did it really well and over the ten furlongs he his able to show a bit more than over the six furlongs at home. It was solid work all the way.”

He added, “We gave him plenty of time after he came back from Dubai. They were hard races for him and we decided he needed a break. Sheikh Mohammed is keen to run him in the Breeders’ Cup Classic and he’ll have a few races before then. We’ll talk to Sheikh Mohammed and make a decision. We’ll keep the options open but we’ll think about York.”
