Re: Horse Racing
Thunder faces stamina test.

Quote:
Night Of Thunder steps up to a mile and a quarter for the first time in the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown Park.
The 2000 Guineas hero engaged in a fascinating rematch with Newmarket runner-up Kingman at Royal Ascot, but he was clear second-best in the St James's Palace Stakes.
Connections are confident the extra distance is within his compass, with his trainer Richard Hannon telling Racing UK: "He's the sort of horse you don't really notice, and I think that's what will stand him in good stead for Saturday - the fact that he is so relaxed and he's very economical when he races. He gives himself every chance of staying a mile and a quarter."
