Mark Johnston

His motto is 'always trying'. Have a look at the profile of his winner in the first at Goodwood - Landaman..... Handed a mark of 83 at the back end of last season and starts this season on 82. Finishes 7 of 16, 9 of 9 and 7 of 7 and magically, the handicapper then drops him down 7lb, just the exact amount needed to permit him entry into 0-75 handicaps. Knowing he's got a well handicapped horse, they win at Beverley in a class 4 in May then pick up a penalty. Because he runs before reassessment he is allowed to race of 81 (under a penalty) when winning again at Beverley in a 0-75. He wins at odds on. Now he's just defied a 9lb rise and a three-grade rise to win at Glorious Goodwood. lol

Re: Mark Johnston It finished 7th of 16 on it's first run after a long break.. It finished 9th of 9 on soft ground and 7th of 7 on heavy ground.. It's last 2 wins came on good to firm and it's only other win back in 2011 came on good to firm. It is clearly a horse that loves fast ground, end of story.
