Tabor expects special Run

LAST YEAR’S winner Hurricane Run will be bidding to join an exclusive roll of honour at Longchamp tomorrow, as just six horses have done the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe double – five of them in successive years – with the last being the Vincent O’Brien-trained Alleged under Lester Piggott in 1978.

Although owner Michael Tabor hopes he will prove up to the task, he knows a tough challenge awaits his four-year-old.

“I’d be very hopeful because I think he is a very special horse and knowing Andre (Fabre) and the trainer he is, he will have him prepared on the day,” said Tabor.
