Pullman Brown lands a punt

Pullman Brown was lively in the betting from early in the day, and indeed on track (8s into 11/2), for the Follow @TipperaryRaces On Twitter Handicap.

The American-bred got the job done, on his debut in the sphere, under Connor King, for David Marnane.

Favourite, Koybig was another very well-backed contender for this mile one affair, but Pullman Brown got a much clear passage than the 'jolly' and in the end he beat Ring Presence by a length. Koybig was half a length back in third.

"He's a lovely horse and will improve in a lot of ways," revealed Marnane.

"He had a good first run but got wound up a bit at Dundalk and he should do better on better ground as he's an American bred.

"He jumped and settled much better today and is a nice type in the making. I don't think the handicapper will be too aggressive on him and we'll box away with him in similar races.

"The winning syndicate (Global Equine Syndicate) have three horses with me and are a ten member group from Ireland, England and Dubai. It is a two year project and this is their first winner with me." (TW & EM)
