Vinnie Roe named Racehorse of the Year

Vinnie Roe was named Racehorse of the Year at the Irish Horse Racing Awards in Dublin today.

Dermot Weld’s remarkable performer, who won his fourth Irish St Leger in September and finished second under top weight in the Melbourne Cup, beat off the likes of Florida Pearl, Hardy Eustace and Moscow Flyer to win the accolade, which honours “extraordinary performance by a racehorse”.
