Former star Australian colt Storm Boy has failed to fire again in the UK this time overnight in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes where he finished near the tail of the field.

Storm Boy won five out of ten starts in Australia … including a success at Group 2 level in the Skyline Stakes, but he has yet to salute at the elite level of Group 1 competition.
He has chased Group 1 glory on four occasions to date with those results including a third place finish in the Golden Slipper, when ridden by Ryan Moore. On that occasion Storm Boy finished within 1.50 lengths of the winner, Lady Of Camelot.
Another big run of note came in the 2024 The Everest. Although unplaced there, Storm Boy again was less than two lengths off the winner Bella Nipotina, a highly creditable run.
Storm Boy then was relocated overseas to be trained by the master Aidan O’Brien, but things certainly did not go to plan when Storm Boy kicked off the international chapter of his career with a very disappointing last place finish when coming home as a beaten favourite in the Group 2 Greenland Stakes.
