The Vintage Crop Cocktail Bar & Media Puzzle Lounge The Vintage Crop Cocktail Bar & Media Puzzle Lounge As Kildare is rich in equestrian history, it is only fitting that our Hotel Bar would be named after our owner Dr. Michael Smurfit’s two great Irish geldings, ‘Vintage Crop’ & ‘Media Puzzle’, winners of the 1993 & 2002 Melbourne Gold Cup respectively. Trained by Dermot Weld, Vintage Crop was the first Irish horse to surpass one million pounds in winnings. He was also the first horse to go from the Northern hemisphere to the Southern hemisphere and win in Melbourne, a record which stood until his stable mate ‘Media Puzzle’ won in 2002. Both trophies are on display in the Vintage Crop Cocktail Bar & Media Puzzle Lounge.
