Hurricane Run possible for Breeders' Cup Turf

Connections of Michael Tabor's Hurricane Run (Montjeu [Ire]) will wait until

next week to decide whether the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (Fr-G1) hero will run

in the Breeders' Cup Turf (G1) at Belmont Park on October 29. Conditioner Andre

Fabre reported that the three-year-old emerged from Sunday's success unscathed

and that he will remain in training next season.

"The only serious possibility (of another race this year) is to go to New

York, but we'll wait a week before making a decision," Fabre told PA Sport. "He

has taken the race well, but I want to see how he comes out of (it) and see his

next work before committing to that."

Fabre paid tribute to the colt's performance in cutting down Westerner (GB)

for his second Group 1 success. "He's shown that kind of acceleration before,

but it looked so spectacular because he was squeezed coming out of the gate and

had to make up so much ground," he said. "He's still a teenager, and I'd expect

further improvement from him. It's not that he'll get faster, but that he'll get

stronger and he's got the right temperament."
