Night Of Thunder sired two new Stakes winners on Sunday 7, June when his lightly raced three-year-olds Overnight and Fortuna Diamond both continued their upward trajectory.
First to secure their victory was his son Overnight who landed the Listed the Prix Ridgeway over 2000m. Making only his third career start, the Wertheimer Et Frere homebred colt wasn’t hard pressed to record a three-length success.
Look at that stride! 👀

Later in the card Night Of Thunder’s daughter Fortuna Diamond continued her progression with a battling one-length win in the Listed Prix Volterra.
Three from three!
