SUCCESS for Under The Stars in the Group 3 Princess Margaret Keeneland Stakes was a breakthrough stakes success for first-season Darley stallion Night Of Thunder. This was the filly’s second win in as many starts.
Coincidentally, Night Of Thunder was unbeaten in two starts as a two-year-old in 2013, including the Listed Doncaster Stakes, and the son of Dubawi (Dubai Millennium) put in a spectacular performance to win the Group 1 QIPCO 2000 Guineas at Newmarket the next spring and score by half a length from Kingman, the subsequent Epsom Derby hero Australia, Charm Spirit, Toormore, Kingston Hill, War Command and The Grey Gatsby. That was the only defeat ever sustained by Kingman.
