Koukash sweet on Athos chance22nd November 2012
Connections of Mount Athos are hoping the five-year-old can capitalise on a good draw in Sunday's Japan Cup to make amends for an unlucky run in the Melbourne Cup.
The Luca Cumani-trained gelding has been handed stall five in the Group One at Tokyo, as he drops back to a mile and a half following his fifth place in two-mile showpiece in Flemington.
"The draw is very good news," the horse's owner Dr Marwan Koukash told At The Races.
