Racing:  Hurricane Run could run in the Emirates Airline Champion Stakes on Saturday week after his fourth-placed finish in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.

Andre Fabre's charge can be considered a somewhat unfortunate loser in his quest to reclaim the Arc having hit traffic problems over a furlong out.

Although he stayed on in good style from then on, the Montjeu colt could only finish three lengths in arrears of stablemate Rail Link.

Hurricane Run may now be primed for a tilt at the Group One at Newmarket over 10 furlongs on October 14th.

"I was delighted with Hurricane Run but he was unlucky," reflected Fabre. "He was boxed in and could not use his stride - he lacks acceleration in a slowly-run race.

"I will be talking to the owners but the plan is now to go for the Champion Stakes or the Breeders' Cup," the French handler told the Racing PostPA
