Fabre hoping for Hurricane’s best

ANDRE FABRE is hoping Hurricane Run can emulate his sire Montjeu by winning the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes at Ascot today.

The master French trainer admits it takes a special horse to win the Ascot showpiece a year after taking the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, but that is exactly what Montjeu did six years ago.

And even though the four-year-old is going into the race on the back of a disappointing second place at Saint-Cloud, Fabre believes he has improved for the race.
