Stormy Girl is SW16 for Night Of Thunder after winning Friday’s Flying Fillies’ Stakes at Pontefract.
Smartly away, Stormy Girl quickly settled on the lead and made all the running to defeat Jouska (Cable Bay) by 1-1/4 lengths with Magical Journey (Night Of Thunder) one length away third.
A €22,000 Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling has now won twice from eight starts and the first stakes win for trainer Rebecca Menzies.
A half-sister to Goodwood and Newbury winner Dirty Rascal (Acclamation), Stormy Girl is out of the Irish winner Refusetolisten (Clodovil), a three-quarter sister to Gr2 Prix Robert Papin placed Tiger Tanaka.
The granddam Smoken Rosa (Smoke Glacken) placed in North America and a half-sister to US Gr3 winner Snowdrops, the dam of Gr3 Horris Hill Stakes at Newbury winner Tawhid.
2000 Guineas winner Night Of Thunder (Dubawi) was the leading first-season sire in Europe in 2019 and Stormy Girl is the 13th stakes winner from his first crop.
He is advertised at €25,000 at Kildangan Stud in Ireland in 2020 and will be available for southern hemisphere covers later this year.
