HURRICANE LANE RETIRED

07 Aug 2023 11:26


 

Godolphin’s dual Classic hero and triple Group 1 winner Hurricane Lane has been retired and will stand under Coolmore’s National Hunt roster for 2024.
He sold to Godolphin for 200,000gns at Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale in 2019, and has now been bought privately by Coolmore from their superpower rival.

Hurricane Lane was a two-length winner at Newmarket on his sole start at two for Charlie Appleby, before winning a Newbury conditions contest on his debut at three.

He then struck in the Group 2 Dante Stakes at York and started second favourite for the Derby, in which he finished third behind stablemate Adayar. That preceded a top-level winning spree that took in the Irish Derby, Grand Prix de Paris and St Leger.

He ended the 2021 campaign with a valiant third in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe behind Torquator Tasso and Tarnawa.
The five-year-old retires with seven wins from his 13 starts, and a prize-money haul of £2,087,903.
