HAS HOWARD JOHNSON/GRAHAM WYLIE GOT ANY DECENT HORSES THIS SEASON?

they got QUWETWO for novice chases along with ON RAGLAN ROAD plus clssy flat racer PROSPECT WELLS  going jumping and ON HIS OWN who is expected to do well also.but they need star dont they tidal bays getting on now hes meant to have some lovely unraced horses to come out and the hit sales are coming up so you would expect to see some decent buys there

On Raglan Road is going to do big things chasing this year, cannot wait to see this 1 out.

Dont write of Tidal Bay yet, and i am sure theres lots of money to spend if the insurance for the inside job is through.

Wouldn't say stable is in decline, but certainly no real superstars at present. There are plenty of young horse coming through, think Wylie is concentrating on his breeding operation rather than lots of big purchases.

I'm looking forward to seeing how Moon Indigo does this season, hopefully better than Washington Irving!

Moon Indigo not on the same planet as Washington Irving, wasn't 4th in the Derby for starters

Very true Ben, but as WI has proved, flat form does not always translate to jumps.

Washington Irving surely will improve to be a real Champion Hurdle contender. 4th in a Derby FFS

i dont think moon indigo will be up to much he had no real excuses at hexham on his debut might win a small race but nothing bigger.they brought a abtch of foals a few years back some off them could have run last season but he gave them more time i know he thinks the world of a couple of them VENITZIA and COLORADO KID are apparently pretty smart

Dove Hill could be an interesting horse to follow this season. Entered at Kelso on Saturday.

Moon Indigo has already raced this season.

QUWETWO is having problems wont be seen this year. Pity he seems to be a bit of a hard one to get right.

As he is on this thread I may aswell mention that Alverado was my Johnson horse to follow this season. Would have won with even more in hand the other day without his mistake at the last whilst im not sure if he will be top class i think he will win a fair few over fences this season.

ON HIS OWN

Alvarado, do you know the stable well? Interested to hear any targets for Companero this season, thinking soft ground Welsh National would be ideal myself?

just know a few people there.totally agree regards companero chepstow would be ideal for him he got a leg last season after he ran at carlisle it had to be screwed dont know when he,ll be back in time for that race

Cheers for that

Alvarado - where do you see Prince de Beacheane being aimed this season??

all the top 2m5f h,cap chases he loves deep ground so that may rule th epaddy power out but races like that

do you think he could step up from handicap company to grade 1 chases?

Where is that Foxy forumite who said that oss wouldn't get beat last year from the same yard.

Washington Irving was the horse and I think the forumite was Claire or something latin.

claudia possibly ?

meaty id doubt he could devolp into a grade 1 chaser but top h,caps on bad ground are right up his street

i like first stream hes entered over the right trip on the 15th. not saying hes top class or out

paddy power will be on bad ground but im with another forumites horse catch me for that .

i doubt it will be bottomless the softer the ground the better for prince de beau

first stream is still well h,capped and may improve for going further

on his will make up into a lovely 3m novice hurdler

on a lesser note the h,capper has given MONOGRAM a real chance off his amrk of 114 hes a lot better than that one to back next time hes still  a big baby

Alvarado do you know when Glencree will be out? Is he over his problems? Cheers

Washington Irving best fo sho

Has Howard got his luck money back
£100k which was stolen?

glencree should be out in the next few weeks last i heard.hes done well during his absence and goes novice chasing they thought he was gonna be a star couple of years back.

p.s as i,ve stated before they really like On His Own so watch out for him
