Vinnie Roe on Track for Cup
- Tuesday, 20 August 2002 00:00
A top-class stayer, Vinnie Roe was running for the first time since finishing second in the Ascot Gold Cup in June and he will be now stepped back up in class and in trip.
Trainer Dermot Weld who listened to the race on the phone from Chicago, has always held the son of Definite Article in the highest regard and Vinnie Roe now heads for the Irish St Leger at the Curragh and then to Australia for the Melbourne Cup, a race Weld famously won with Vintage Crop.
Vinnie Roe is quoted by the NSW TAB at A$13 for the Melbourne Cup, on the second row of betting along with Universal Prince and behind Magical Miss on A$11.
