I don't get it.
He has invested millions with JHJ, who was always an OK trainer but not a world beater, more of a sheep farmer with a couple of dozen jumpers. If JHJs stable gets a bug or lack of form then Wylie is stuffed.
Howard Johnson must have thought that all his Christmasses had come at once when Wylie teamed up with him.
Nearly all of the big owners have their strings in different stables so this has always puzzled me, and also why he chose Johnson in the first place.
Johnson does not seem like a nice guy, and why would any idiot have over £100,000 in cash in his house.
Is there a deeper story?

It's funny how this subject keeps popping up over and over again,
why does it bother you lot what he does with his money, they are friends and he wants to support his friend, get over it. |

By:
I wish I had a friend with 300 million
|
|
By:
Would you skim a percentage, par?
|

By:
i have to, them sheep dont feed themselves you nah
|

By:
a terrible trainer , with all that fire power should be doing a lot better at the festivals.
|
|
By:
agreed truly awful and has just sacked thec 2nd best jovkey in the wieghing room
|
|
By:
Wins poor races in the north , has used Brennan , Lee and Oregan and i could name worse jockeys than them. Time to look and the trainer Mr Wylie.
|
|
By:
thats a good point fat punter.. ive thought the same myself
|
|
By:
I have to go along with info on this. Also his yard is just down the road from where Wylie lives and there arent too many top trainers in the County Durham area. You dont need your hobby to pay and maybe its his wife thats more interested in racing anyway.

whats wrong with Nicky Richards? :^0
|
|
By:
he seems to have gone at the game his horses cost a lot of money as well
|
|
By:
How much is the interest from 3-400 million per year anyway,
and who is to say he aint still making money using the 3-400 million ?! So all in all, a very rich man with a rich hobby and he can do what he likes and nobody's business, unless of course you are the jelaus type ! |
|
By:
par does have a friend with 300m, fact.
|
|
By:
300 meters of what ?!
|
|
By:
Once more I advise you to compare the average prize money per runner of the top 6 owners. Wylie is certainly not bottom of the list and last year he was second to Ogden.
|
|
By:
Cant see the business,equine or pleasure sense in having all your horses with one stable.
As for the removal of three top jockeys - well that has a Dick Francis feel to it. . |
|
By:
JHJ has a photo of Wylie sh agging a pig imo.
|
|
By:
If a aguy gives a trainer just down the road a few million to waste and just wants horses winning here n there as a hobby why sacka guy for being 3lbs too heavy at cheltenham--howard johnson is the problem i think
|
|
By:
glad its on a hobby!
|
|
By:
It should also be considered that Howard and Wylie have built a huge facility togethor. Would be very difficult for Wylie to get away from that.

dananders of all the rubbish spouted on this forum alot of it from yours truely ,to state o,regan is the 2nd best jockey in the weighing room is probably the most ridiculous statement ever made on the betfair forum, would struggle to get in the top 15
|
|
By:
To be fair, he was the 2nd best jockey in the national and I think dandare's stats are based on that !
|
|
By:
probably the only place he,s 2nd best jockey is in howard johnsons yard
|
|
By:
What 14 uk based jocks would be in front of him.
|
|
By:
