Lightningboltzoom is an exciting recruit to our VIP Syndicate options, who is looking well-handicapped and should enjoy an exciting campaign in 2026. Trained by Charlie Pike at Danebury Racing Stables in Hampshire, we’re looking forward to watching his career progress and we’re predicting a bright future ahead for this promising gelding.
The five-year-old gelding has an impressive pedigree, having been sired by four-time Group 1 winner Cracksman, who was an elite performer over 1m 2f – 1m 4f, so we’re hopeful Lightningboltzoom will improve once stepped up in distance. There is also plenty of pace coming from his dam’s side, with his dam’s sire Dark Angel one of the leading sires of sprinters. He was a high-class horse himself, having won both the Mill Reef and Middle Park Stakes before retiring to stud aged two.
Having made a promising debut at Chelmsford in August 2024, he stepped up in class at Lingfield next time out, finishing third, before another encouraging effort at Southwell in November. He made a pleasing handicap debut, finishing runner-up behind a well-handicapped rival and should be visiting the winners’ enclosure soon enough.
“Lightningboltzoom is an exciting five-year-old for Racing Club to have in their VIP syndicate, who I’m sure will give their owners plenty of great days out. He’s a progressive middle-distance horse who has plenty of ability, and having shown us plenty at home, we’re confident he’ll be winning in handicap races soon enough.” Trainer Charlie Pike.
Lightningboltzoom looks sure to have a promising career ahead of him and we look forward to watching him in our RC VIP silks in 2026 and onwards!
