Vinnie Cup Decision Expected This Week

A decision whether to send Vinnie Roe to Australia for the Emirates Melbourne Cup will be made this week.

The seven-year-old has run in the Flemington contest twice before and was second to Makybe Diva in 2004

He was recently thwarted in his bid for a fifth consecutive Irish St Leger, settling for third behind Collier Hill.

'The horse is in quarantine and is well,' trainer Dermot Weld told the Racing Post.

'Everything is perfect but I won´t decide until later this week.
