Tucson Train scores for Tom & Danny Mullins Tucson Train justified strong 4/7 favouritism in winning the Tipperary Town Maiden Hurdle (div II) at Tipperary today, scoring for trainer Tom Mullins and his jockey nephew Danny Mullins. The son of Scorpion was second on his previous start at Punchestown on May 31 and today, a little better than even-money following the withdrawal of Hallowed Star this morning, beat runner-up Narynkol by six lengths. Afterwards jockey Mullins stated “having the bit of room on the outside helps as he was tight turning for home at Punchestown and cowered out of it. He is a big horse who likes a bit of room. “Flat tracks like this probably don't bring out the best in him but hopefully later in the month there might be a novice hurdle with a stiffer finish that could suit him.”
