O´Neill Pleased With Vital Spin

Follow on Discover

Published at

Eoghan O´Neill has expressed his satisfaction with Vital Equine´s progress ahead of this weekend´s Boylesports Irish 2000 Guineas.

The underrated Danetime colt, second to Cockney Rebel in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket earlier this month, put in a fine piece of work at Southwell on Saturday morning.

Last season´s Champagne Stakes winner will now have another work-out later this week before heading to the Curragh on Thursday.

O´Neill said: 'He worked well and I was happy with him.

'We´ll now work him on Tuesday morning and hopefully that will go as well.

'He has come out of the Guineas super and has actually improved.'
