Thu 31st Dec 2009, 15:07

Bob Will Fix It supplied Waterford trainer Vinny Keane with his first winner on the track after he came home in front of the Martinstown Opportunity Handicap Hurdle.

Stephen Gray sent the son of Bob's Return to the front entering the straight and kept and showed great battling qualities to hold off the challenge of Hidden Crack on the run-in.

Winning jockey Gray said afterwards: "I'm delighted for Vinny. The ground was better today than it was when he ran in Limerick which made all the difference."
