Powerscourt seeks Japan Cup glory

POWERSCOURT carries the main hopes of Europe in the Japan Cup in Tokyo tomorrow morning.

Having landed the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh in May, the four-year-old will again have Jamie Spencer aboard after they were last seen finishing third in the Breeders’ Cup Turf in Texas last month.

“The horse has been very well since he’s come here. He’s travelled over well and we’re very happy,” said O’Brien’s assistant trainer Patrick Keating.
