Roll of Thunder (USA, 2007)
By Thunder Arctic x Grinder's Daughter (Grindstone)
37:5-4-5 $379,850
Stud Fee: $1,000 or Private Treaty
========================================
Trainer's Notes: He's a little older than we were wanting, but we needed consistency more than anything. His most recent PSR of 104 gives hope that he'll continue to place well in 2012.
Owner's Notes: Thunder is a very nice young stallion who offers just the level of consistency we've been needing around here. Like the man said, even though he came in towards the back in his last start, his PSR gives us hope for 2012. Though I would have preferred someone younger - and a filly - I think Thunder will work out nicely for us. With two TR's and consistent 80+ PSR's, snagging him for such a low reserve was an opportunity that was too good to pass up.
Sold as Breeder in Private Transaction to Bunnyhill during the 2015 season.
