Like anything in life, people try to rationalize this. The terrifying truth of the issue is really on an individual basis, when people walk around the auctions and look in the feedlot pens. Contrary to popular belief, it. s not just the old, or sick horses. He was sent to a feedlot as soon as he was no longer useful at the track. Now Is The Hour was bred to win, having Nearco, Bold Ruler, Nasrullah, War Relic, and Raise a Native in his bloodlines.
Thunder is an old class horse that is the truest sense and a hard-knocker from way back.
Purchased by the Exceller Fund at the age of 13, Thunder is a wonderful fellow who ran in the Breeder. Cup Mile in 1992. At the peak of his career, Thunder defeated the likes of Dance Smartly in the King Edward Gold Cup Handicap, and ran 4th to Sky Classic in the Arlington Handicap. Thunder will eventually make a good riding horse, as his legs look clean for a horse that ran as long and hard as he. Thunder is currently at United Pegasus Foundation gaining weight and being loved.
