Shirocco claims Longchamp spoils

Andre Fabre’s Shirocco maintained his unbeaten record for the season with a narrow victory over stablemate Hurricane Run in the Prix Foy at Longchamp.

With Fabre saddling three of the five runners, the race was run at a sedate pace for the first mile before Christophe Soumillon took up the running on last year’s Breeders’ Cup Turf hero from the pacemaker, Near Honor.
