Phenomenal Power to reign in Thunderbird Trophy

Phenomenal Power will be out to prove that his recent Port Royal Sprint flop was just a blip when he lines up as the horse to beat in the $1.4-million Thunderbird Trophy at Caymanas Park this afternoon.

The three-year-old American-bred dark bay colt Phenomenal Power, who holds the track record over this 7½ furlongs (1,500m) distance, had looked like a star in the making when he won the Diamond Mile on July 25.

He then disappointed badly down the track in the Port Royal Sprint on October 19 over 6 furlongs (1,200m), but the word from the mornings is that he is a better animal now, and ready to put his rivals in their places over his favourite trip.
