Career Story
Qatar International Cup G1 PA · 2017.
TM Thunder Struck built his profile across several seasons in Qatar and international company. He won the 2015 Qatar National Day Trophy G2 PA over 2,000 metres, was narrowly beaten when second in the 2016 Dubai Kahayla Classic G1 PA, and won the 2017 Qatar International Cup G1 PA over 1,600 metres. ERA records ten wins from 32 starts: nine on turf and one on dirt. It is an unusually clear combination of mile speed, range and the ability to rebound after setbacks.
Distance profile: 1,200–2,000 m
The archive focuses on the results that define the horse’s international profile. Complete race records and current status should always be checked with the responsible racing authority.
Research dossier
Race record, family and practical relevance are read together — never as isolated headlines.
Read the race record
TM THUNDER STRUCK is presented with 10 wins and 1 win + G1 runner-up at Group 1/top level, with a documented distance profile of 1,200–2,000 m. Those figures become meaningful only when read with where, when and against whom the results were achieved.
Read the pedigree
The Majd Al Arab × Bonnett by Burning Sand cross is the starting point of this profile. The recurring names Majd Al Arab, Amer, Burning Sand, Manganate become routes through the archive — not a mathematical promise of performance.
Why this profile belongs here
A profile combining mile speed with a narrow Group 1 placing over 2,000 metres shows why distance range must be read from actual races, not pedigree labels alone.
Career landmarks
Pedigree
The documented cross should be read alongside female-family production, soundness, distance and surface. A name in a pedigree is a clue — never a guarantee.
Only names supported by the editorial research or a linked primary source are displayed. Missing generations are never filled with assumptions.Female family
BURNING SAND is followed both as the direct sire of TM Fred Texas and Paddys Day and as broodmare sire in profiles such as RB Burn and TM Thunder Struck. The network shows influence across generations, but every individual must still be read through its own dam and race record.
Bloodline Story
Sire Majd Al Arab is by Amer out of Djelmila by Manganate, while dam Bonnett is by Burning Sand and supplies a distinct American speed branch. The mating therefore combines the Amer–Manganate structure on the sire side with Burning Sand maternally. TM Thunder Struck's own range from 1,200 to 2,000 metres makes the profile relevant to sourcing, but any later breeding value must be judged from documented progeny performance rather than assumed from his race record.

Breeding Insight
As a stallion or gelding reference, the profile shows which performance traits can be studied in the line. Race results do not automatically prove breeding value; offspring, female families, health and compatibility must also be assessed.
