Rage of Thunder

Fast, dry ground is Rage of Thunder's playground. On those conditions, the horse has won 2 of its 5 races — a 40% win rate that stands out sharply against its overall record. Both victories came this summer: first at Salisbury on 10 June 2025, then four months later at Newbury on 23 June 2026. When the ground dries out and favour turns its way, Rage of Thunder can deliver. The Moore yard, based at Lower Beeding in West Sussex and already responsible for 99 winners this season, clearly knows how to get the best from this horse.

The recent form — 5-4-2-5-1-5 across the last six starts — shows peaks and valleys. That third-place finish two runs ago was encouraging, and the win before that hints at what is still possible. Tom Queally, the horse's most regular partner with 1 win from 7 rides together, will know the animal well. Where Rage of Thunder struggles is at the top level: it has won none of its 6 races in Class 1 or 2 company, suggesting this is a mid-tier performer at best. Still, for a horse that stays sound and races regularly, there is life in this one yet — provided the ground stays firm.
