The colt was trained by André Fabre in France and ridden in all but one of his races by Christophe Soumillon or Kieren Fallon.

[1] His two-length Arc win was rated the best performance of the year by the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities.

[2] He was scheduled to run at Belmont Park in New York in October in the 2005 Breeders' Cup Turf but was sidelined with a cough.

[3] Hurricane Run lost only one race that year, when a late charge from behind a wall of horses just failed to catch the winner in the Prix du Jockey Club over 10 furlongs.

Ridden by Christophe Soumillon, the colt returned to action on 29 July to win the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot.
