Vinnie out of Curragh Cup

Vinnie Roe will miss the Group 3 Sharp Minds Betfair Curragh Cup on Saturday.

Dermot Weld will instead be represented by last year´s winner Maharib, and said, ´Vinnie Roe will not run at the Curragh, and it is very unfair that he is asked to carry 10st3lb. At graded stakes level, no horse should have to carry over 10st.´

´There are plenty of opportunities for him during the year, especially in France.´

Weld also had news of his challenge for the Group 1 Audi Pretty Polly Stakes on the same card. ´Ivowen will run but Sunday Joy is only 50-50 as she is a firm ground filly and will need the run.´
