Race Horses
Pullen was also able to indulge in his lifelong passion of horse racing, training and breeding, adopting the colours Chocolate and Blue for his Racing silks . His friends included Peter Bromley, racing commentator, and Pullen went on to be a popular owner with a string of race horses most famously at Josh Gifford's yard in Findon, Sussex. It was as such that he was interviewed by the Radio Times magazine ("Six owners in search of a winner" by Russell Twisk) in 1972, having especially bought a horse on Josh Gifford's recommendation for that year's Grand National Horse race at Aintree.
