Nelson sees off Tipperary rivals

Viscount Nelson will next step into Group company after his workmanlike triumph in the Listed Coolmore Hurricane Run Stakes at Tipperary.

Bred for greatness, being by Giant’s Causeway and out of Oaks winner Imagine, the colt took time to hit top gear under Johnny Murtagh, who had jetted in after finishing second on Black Bear Island in the Secretariat Stakes on Saturday evening in America.
