Snagsby holds on to land gamble Mr Snagsby was all the rage in the Sharon Shannon Big Band Handicap at Leopardstown but was all out to land the spoils. The Eddie Lynam-trained gelding was as big as 5/1 this morning but was well-supported and returned 6/4 favourite. Wayne Lordan drove his mount into the lead over a furlong from home but he was all out at the line to hold the fast-finishing Landau by half a length. The winner had been placed on his last two visits to the track. “It's good to get. I thought he'd win off 66 but it was looking like he wouldn't for a while,” said Lynam. “It's nice to get a winner for Luke (McMahon), it's been a while. I've no plans really – that was the plan. I think he wants good fast ground. I could see him going jumping at some point.”
