Horse Racing: Vinnie Roe lands Irish St Leger classic

Vinnie Roe came with a devastating turn of foot to win the Jefferson Smurfit Memorial Irish St Leger at the Curragh.

The Dermot Weld-trained three-year-old scored in impressive style at 5-1 by two lengths under Pat Smullen to beat the 9-4 favourite, last season's Doncaster St Leger hero Millenary, with Godolphin's Marienbard third at 5-2.
