Vice President justifies market confidence
Vice President lands the odds

Available at 4/7 overnight, the money buyers could not get enough of Vice President in the Lyra At Bulmers Live At Leopardstown Maiden and the Galileo colt ran out a workmanlike winner at odds of 1/5.
Touched off over course and distance on his previous start, Aidan O'Brien fitted cheekpieces on his charge for the first time and Ryan Moore's mount was prominent throughout. Going on approaching the straight, the Coolmore partners-owned three-year-old stayed on well to defeat Mick Collins by two and a half lengths.
It was a double for winning connections after Diego Velasquez' resounding victory in the feature.
Stable representative Chris Armstrong said: “His form was in the book. The trip was a minimum, probably his best run was against Highbury here the first day over a mile-and-a-half.
“He'll be able to step back up to a mile-and-a-half no problem and we'll look for a handicap and see how he progresses.
“It's grand to get the win next to him and we'll just let him come through the grades nicely.”
