Screen springs cup surprise

30/11/2008 9:01 PM

A 40-1 outsider has caused a massive upset in the Japan Cup with Screen Hero triumphing.

Ridden by Italian Mirco Demuro, Screen Hero held Japanese Derby winner Deep Sky by half-a-length with Vodka three-quarters of a length away third.

"I always believed in my horse and he won his last race very well," Demuro told At The Races.

Demuro had only received a 30-day license to ride in Japan a day earlier.
