Thunderstorm Katie

What makes Thunderstorm Katie interesting is Ayr. She has been there 10 times and won 3 of them, a win rate of 30% that is nearly double her overall record. That is the kind of course affinity that matters. She loves normal ground too — on the ground most tracks use most of the time, she wins roughly 1 in every 3 races (4 wins from 13). Trainer Jim Goldie, based at Uplawmoor in Lanarkshire, has sent her out to race 41 times, and his yard is a productive operation that has already sent out 88 winners this season. Her most frequent jockey is Amie Waugh, who has partnered her 12 times and won twice — a 17% win rate together that actually slightly beats the horse's overall average.

Thunderstorm Katie's last win came eight weeks ago at Ayr on 8 August 2026, and she raced again just yesterday. She is an active horse doing what she was bred to do: grind out races in the lower grades, occasionally finding the win, and making her the yard enough to keep going. For a horse who has earned her living at this level for several seasons, that is exactly the point.
