Bansha trainer David Marnane was the bookmakers' pal at Dundalk on Friday night as he sent out Emperor Bob to make a winning debut at odds of 25-1 in the Dundalk Stadium Racecourse Of The Year Maiden.
Owned by McGettigans Management Services, Emperor Bob looked a really nice prospect under Connor King as he quickened up impressively to beat Arif by three-quarters-of-a-length.
