Vinnie Roe To Go To Royal Ascot Vinnie Roe, Ireland's top stayer last season, will again have Royal Ascot in his sights in the early part of this campaign.Curragh trainer Dermot Weld said yesterday: 'Vinnie Roe will probably start off in the Saval Beg Stakes at Leopardstown on May 21 as he did last year. He might be aimed at the Ascot Gold Cup although we will also consider the Hardwicke Stakes for him. 'As far as the second half of the season goes it is far too early to say whether he will go for a third Irish St Leger or maybe run in the Arc. All of that and maybe another tilt at the Melbourne Cup is very much on the horizon at this stage.' Media Puzzle, who credited Weld with his second Melbourne Cup success last year, will have his campaign geared towards a repeat bid for Australia's most famous race on the first Tuesday in November. Weld said: 'Media Puzzle has been in Dubai but won't be running there. There are no firm plans for him yet and we will be in no hurry with him. His main target will be the Melbourne Cup.'
