The 3-1 about Vinnie is a very fair price in ‘his’ race

ONE’S first reaction, on hearing Cashmans were offering Vinnie Roe at 3-1 for Saturdays’ Irish Field St Leger at the Curragh, was that it was a very fair price indeed.

A whopping 21 were left in the contest on Monday and, at that stage, it was a race full of imponderables.

This might come, that was being considered, Aidan O’Brien’s were ‘possibles’, and so on. But, bar Hurricane Ivan completely losing the plot, the absolute certainty is Vinnie Roe will face the starter.
