Kinane sweet on Scorpion

MICK KINANE is hoping St Leger hero Scorpion can sting Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe favourite Hurricane Run at Longchamp tomorrow.

Only half a length separated the two Coolmore-owned colts in the Irish Derby when Hurricane Run came out on top, although Scorpion has since gone on to post two impressive successes at the top level.

He trounced the field in the Grand Prix de Paris before his Classic success at Doncaster and punters have been latching onto Aidan O’Brien’s charge, who is now as low as 7-1 with Ladbrokes.
