No Snag for backers of the shortie The market proved entirely trustworthy for the concluding Join Gowran Park Golf Club (Pro/Am) INH Flat Race as Willie Mullins brought up a double with Snag List (3s on). Patrick Mullins sported the colours of Ballylinch Stud manager John O'Connor, aboard the well-related Shantou newcomer, and the one that was expected to challenge her most was 7/1 second favourite Faraway Mountain. That Gordon Elliott first-timer did his damnedest to get the Closutton runner off the bridle (adding to their gains earlier with Daisy's Gift), but he couldn't. Snag List defeated Faraway Mountain by an un-extended two lengths, with thirteen lengths back to Lion's Choice in third. Patrick Mullins disclosed: "That's what she has been showing us at home. Her sister, Shake The Tree, also worked well, but didn't do it on the track, and that was the worry beforehand. I didn't want to get there too soon. "She is only small and I don't know if she will handle heavy ground but I'd say she will win plenty of races." (AM & EM)
