Calcutta:Trainer Aashay Doctor’s horse, Tiger Of Mysore (app. R.S. Bhati-up) may win the 1,400m Mayor’s Cup, Saturday’s feature event. The horse was a forward runner in Poet’s race.  The B.K. Poddar Cup may also see Aashay’s recent failed favourite, Atom (Neeraj Rawal) making amends. The colt had narrowly lost to a smart colt, After Shock.
