Stockton Jul 16 6th race 6 furlongs 3P $4000b Thunder One pd. $20.80 and was 15-1 2 minutes before post 13-1 at the start of the race. He was reclaimed by Elmer January for $2500 at LA given some time off after running mostly 4 1/2f. races. Thunder One had been mostly closing in his races, the jock
Goodgame had gone wire-wire at Ferndale with him at 5f. Checked the replays and saw a amazing race by Thunder One at Churchill Downs May 2 1997 3y $30000 at 6f. 21.63 44.93 56.77 109.65 2ND by 3/4L Broke dead last and made up 4 plus lengths by the quarter, still down by one, moves to the outside hooks the leader on the turn. Opens up a length then hangs. After seeing this i couldn't believe he was turned into a closer. With the reclaim and the jock who won wire-wire with him i knew he would go to the lead. There was a big wind and all the winners were coming from off the pace so i bet $50 win on Thunder One. He broke on top, the favorite went by him and opened a length, he hooked him on the turn, put the favorite away by the 1/8 pole and lasted by a nose.
