Tobann rewards market support with clear-cut win

Tobann rewarded market support with a clear-cut success in the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Brownstown Stakes.

Given a patient ride by Kevin Manning, the Jim Bolger-trained filly only had a couple behind her entering the straight, albeit with the field reasonably closely bunched.

The 3-1 chance was soon on terms with other joint-favourite Majestic Queen after that one hit the front, and asserted in the last 100 yards to secure a Group Three triumph by a length and a half. It was particularity meritorious effort by the winner, who had been second at the Curragh on Saturday.
