Thunder Snow misses Whitney

Dual Dubai World Cup hero Thunder Snow will not run in the G1 Whitney Stakes at Saratoga, USA, on Saturday, 3 August, due to an elevated temperature.

Trainer Saeed bin Suroor commented: “We took Thunder Snow to the track this morning and he came back to the barn and coughed a few times.

“We took his temperature and he is running a little bit of a fever. In the best interests of the horse, we will be passing on the Whitney.”
