By Thunder Arctic x Grinder's Daughter (Grindstone)
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 consistecy 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.
Bloodstock Manager's Notes: Special Notes: Tail Line reviewed: 2nd dam is consistent Black Type producer. Dam has 50% of racing age at or above half-million mark. Sire has 67 of racing age, with 20 at or above half-million (about 30%, including unraced get). RoT is half-brother to Bally Doyle's Case Closed, Noble's Arctic Memories, and FDL's Camena's Thunder.
