Cheap purchase Where R U Now Bob got off the mark at Dundalk today, landing the DundalkStadium.com Handicap for owner/trainer Rodger Sweeney and jockey Leigh Roche.

Bought for €3,000 as a yearling and carrying Sweeney's Salsify silks, the colt was today returned the well-backed 100/30 favourite and scored by three-parts of a length from Press Play

Similarly named Whereyounow won three hurdles for the Cork trainer in recent times and today Sweeney said “he (Where R U Now Bob) was tough and stuck his head in front. He'll probably come back here again for something.”
