Re: Horse Racing
Thunder springs Guineas shock.

Quote:
Silence fell upon Newmarket as 40-1 chance Night Of Thunder stormed to victory in the Qipco 2000 Guineas in between the two horses most people believed would be winning the season's first Classic.
Two separate races took place across the wide expanse of the Rowley Mile, with 6-4 favourite Kingman ending with clear superiority on the far rail, while Aidan O'Brien's Australia, next best in the betting at 5-2, finished purposefully close to the stands.
Night Of Thunder actually began challenging next to Kingman and ended up on Australia's shoulder as he swerved dramatically across the track, but he was still able to hand Richard Hannon an unexpected Classic at his first attempt, under renowned jockey Kieren Fallon.
