About

Thunder is a 9-year-old bay gelding from New Zealand, trained by Stephen Autridge, who operates out of Matamata. He is the offspring of the stallion Niagara and the mare Alberta. Throughout his career, Thunder has won 8 races. His most notable victory occurred on December 26, 2022, at Pukekohe Park, where he was ridden by Masahiro Hashizume and won the $80,000 Open Handicap, beating Tightlign. Thunder has been a profitable horse for bettors, yielding a 67 percent return on investment for those who supported him throughout his racing journey.
