Trained by David Loughnane at his Stoke Heath yard in Shropshire, Thunda Struck is in capable hands. Loughnane's team has sent out 38 winners already this season, which tells you this is a yard that knows how to get a horse ready to perform. Having a young, unproven horse in a stable firing at that kind of rate is genuinely encouraging — the experience and confidence around the place tends to rub off. With Thunda Struck last racing just a day ago, things are moving quickly, and the team clearly has plans in motion.
At two years old and with only two races to their name, it would be completely unfair to read too much into the win column sitting at zero. Some of the best horses of their generation took time to find their feet in the early months. What matters here is the runner-up finish — it means Thunda Struck has already shown the ability to mix it and come out ahead of most of the field. The story is only just starting.
