Bio
Love and Thunder began her racing career in England under the care of trainer John Gosden and came over to the barn of Chad Brown for her North American debut, which came at the start of her 3-year-old campaign in April 2021.

Love and Thunder began her racing career in England under the care of trainer John Gosden and came over to the barn of Chad Brown for her North American debut, which came at the start of her 3-year-old campaign in April 2021. She then proceeded to run second four times in a row in allowance company until getting her first stateside victory on Oct. 1, 2021, in a seven-furlong turf race at Belmont Park. She was then raised in class up against stakes competition but ended that season with back-to-back losses in the Grade 3 Noble Damsel at Belmont (5th place) and then the $150,000 Autumn Days stakes at Aqueduct (3rd).
Love and Thunder opened her 5-year-old season with a win right off the bat in an allowance optional claiming race at Belmont Park on May 15, 2022, and then recorded consecutive third-place finishes in her next two starts, which came in the $100,000 Perfect Sting stakes at Belmont and the $135,000 De La Rose Stakes at Saratoga.
Love and Thunder got over the hump and earned her first career stakes win in the Grade 3 Athenia at 1 1/8 miles on the turf at the Belmont at the Big A meet on Sept. 24, prevailing in a field of five horses as the favorite and paying $4.00 to win. She was ridden to victory by Jose Ortiz.
Love and Thunder is an Irish-bred daughter of the sire Siyouni out of the Pretty Paper by Medaglia d'Oro.
