Stevie Thunder

The highlight of the week was Stevie Thunder finally coming good when winning the Grants Whiskey Handicap on 29th July, by four and a half lengths. He was quite impressive in the way he destroyed the field. However the Handicapper took a dim view and raised him a whopping 10lbs. It's been very hardwork getting him to accept the stalls again after he decided he wasn't going to enter them again. A spell hurdling and a visit to "Yarmys" in Newmarket seems to have done the trick as he returned to his very best form, but he'll find life tough enough now racing off a mark of 88.
