Impressive Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Hurricane Run will carry on racing next season. The three-year-old, under an inspired ride by Kieren Fallon, stormed to victory at Longchamp despite being cramped for room.
Part-owner Michael Tabor said the horse would not be retired to stud, and would stay in training next season.
Trainer Andre Fabre will wait a week before deciding whether to run him in the Breeders' Cup Turf on 29 October.
The colt, trained by Andre Fabre who had won the Arc five times previously, came from a difficult position and the son of Montjeu - who himself claimed the Arc in 1999 - looks a very exciting prospect.
After finishing second to Shamardal in the French Derby, his only defeat, Hurricane Run was bought by by Tabor to join the Coolmore stallion team at the end of his racing days.
"Somebody asked earlier if you can still get excited when this sort of thing happens, but to see that race ought to answer that for you," Tabor said.
"I still cannot believe he managed to win from where he was. He just showed what a good horse he is. It was something to behold. "I don't know about the Breeders' Cup for him. We haven't discussed it at all so I guess we need to sit down and talk it through."
The victory, Fallon's first in the race, brought up a hat-trick of Group One wins for the rider aboard Coolmore-owned horses during the afternoon.
Runner-up Westerner is also set to remain in training next season, with Hong Kong rather than Melbourne the most likely next venture this year.
Third-placed Bago heads for the Breeders' Cup Turf, but Motivator (fifth) may miss that race with Newmarket's Champion Stakes as an alternative.
