Thunder storms home in UAE 2000 Guineas

Thunder Snow showed his rivals a clean pair of heels as he stormed to victory in the UAE 2000 Guineas at Meydan.The Saeed bin Suroor-trained colt was among the leading juveniles in Europe last year, finishing second in both the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood and the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster before having to settle for fourth behind Churchill in the Dewhurst.He rounded off his 2016 campaign with victory in the Group One Criterium International at Saint-Cloud last October and he was quickly off the mark on his 2017 debut.Partnered by Christophe Soumillon, Thunder Snow assumed control at the top of the straight and soon accelerated clear, galloping all the way to the line to see off Bee Jersey in style by five and three-quarter lengths.Another Godolphin runner, Capezzano, stuck on for third.
