European Stars Backed For Breeders Glory

Prix De L'Arc De Triomphe fourth Hurricane Run and impressive QE II winner George Washington have been well supported with William Hill ahead of their tilts at the Turf and the Mile respectively.

George Washington in particular has proven very popular with the British bookmaker and his move from 7-4 into 13-8 comes after his odds plunged from 4-1 to 7-4 following his QE II win.

William Hill spokesman Ben Clarke commented: "Although Hurricane Run could only finish fourth in the Arc at his best he has the beating of any horse in Europe and George Washington is one of the best milers for many generations. Both have been very well supported, consolidating their positions at the head of our betting."
