Thunderstorm Katie
Thunderstorm Katie has the look of a horse that finds its level and sticks to it—a steady, reliable type that wins roughly one in every seven races overall, but lights up in the right circumstances. The 5-year-old has recorded 5 wins and 10 places from 35 races, which tells you this is a genuine racehorse with a job to do, not a struggling also-ran. What's interesting is how selective those wins are. At Class 6 level—modest, everyday races—Thunderstorm Katie wins one in every four times (5 from 20), which suggests the horse knows exactly where it belongs. On normal ground conditions, the win rate jumps to one in four as well (3 from 12 races), so firm or soft ground clearly bothers it. The course it loves is Ayr, where it has won twice from eight races, a strong win rate that marks it as a genuine specialist there.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The horse's recent form shows it hasn't tasted victory for nine months, not since Newcastle on 27 October 2025. In the last six races it has been placed four times—three second-place finishes and a sixth—which is respectable and suggests it remains competitive, but the wins have dried up. Ridden most often by Amie Waugh, Thunderstorm Katie has won twice in twelve races together, a 17% return that edges up slightly on the overall record. Jim Goldie's Uplawmoor yard is in good form this season with 88 winners sent out, so the horse remains in a winning environment. Still, for a horse that thrives on normal ground and modest company, a nine-month absence from the winner's enclosure is a lengthy drought. Thunderstorm Katie is the kind of horse that needs to find a soft Class 6 race on normal ground at a course where it has form—get those conditions right, and it will deliver.
