Is there a more odious individual in racing than the Durham Pig Farmer.
Sacked Lee, Brennan & O'Regan which suggests he is the master armchair jockey (given his fat red face hes never tried it himself) and I pity poor Brian Hughes who is a cert for the boot at the end of this season know matter what the lad does.
Armed robbery is nothing to laugh at but when it happened to Johnson and he lost £20k of ill gotten gains, I had to stifle a cheeky s****.......................
Horrid bloke which puts a huge question mark over the nice guy/lady image the Wyllie's like to portray because they must listen to the Pig Farmer.................
Heres hoping the decline of his yard and the Wyllies fortunes continue apace!

philip hobbs, ferdy murphy, richard rowe and now howard johnson

Perfectly sober, Johnson is an odious individual. Paddy Brennan speaks of him in tones that make my rant seem reasonable.
Johnson is a total disgrace to racing, limited ability as a trainer, without the Wyllie's he would be the North's Richard Rowe.
What irks is that there are plenty of northern hard working trainers who would welcome (and do better) just 2 or 3 nags from the Wyllie's but they prefer to house 60 nags per season with a joke trainer who hasnt won a decent prize for them in 3 years.
The Wyllie's deserve Johnson and vice versa, long may they fail.

Hobbs is overated
F Murphy is unreliable and no punters pal
Rowe sadly is hopeless (a bit like Tim Nice But Dim in the Harry Enfield shows)
Johnson I cannot speak more lowly of that chimp!
To balance I do like
Nicholls
Mullins
Longsdon
Lavelle
K Bailey (great to see him back among the winners)
M Hammond (under-rated)
K Reveley
D Pipe
N Mullholland (star of the future surely)
N Henderson
and several others

brilliant to see kim bailey doing well again, quality trainer. Master oats was one of my favourite horses of alltime. [;)]
If you think Phillip Hobbs is over rated HERBLINGTON then you are sadly wrong.
He knew what Menorah needed to beat Cue Card and Silviniaco Conti at Cheltenham and put in a pacemaker so the horse could come off a true pace.
I thought that was a smart piece of training

Could not agree more re K Bailey, loved Master Oats and Alderbrook. Seems a genuine decent fella as well and love reading his daily blog, great entertainment.
Tess
Apologies, hes a Farmer full stop............ not a racehorse trainer, in fact Johnson couldnt train Ivy to run up a wall, deplorable at his job and as a bloke!!!

Why do you dislike him so much though? Fair enough i leave some trainers and jockeys alone but you seem to have hatred for him. Met Wylie and his wife Chelt 05 and seemed very nice people. Youre right Mulholland with the right backing could be the next big trainer

I dislike Johnson in particualr because he is a bully, or at least bears all the traits of a bully. He has a bad season mainly due to his own ineptitude and he sackes the jockey (Lee, Brennan and O'Regan) and I fear for Brian Hughes who is a fine lad and deserves 2 or 3 seasons support from Johnson.
Longshot
I agree re Menorah, my argument with Hobbs is that 90% of his novice chasers look and jump like they are seeing a fence for the first time in public and that is a disgrace. Soemone on here told me he schools his horses less than Nicholls and boy does it show. So in my very humble opinion he is average at best.

I agree Hughes is a cracking lad and good rider and yes do wonder how you let Lee and Brennan go, not sure about O Regan. Maybe you know more about the stable than i do

I simply despise bullies and Johnson is one of those. I dont know much about the yard, but his antics with jockeys is a disgrace when 90% of the blame for the yards poor performances at the big meetings is down to his awful training methods.
A friend of mine was party to a rant by Paddy Brennan about 2 years ago where he laid into Johnson and called him all the names under the sun, my friend was quite taken aback by it..........

Do you know Johnson? sounds like you do, is he really a tosser?

has his fair share of winners and probably could do better if he wasnt ever so slightly mad..agree on the jockey sackings though,has had some real talent through the yard and do get cast aside with alarming regularity.
i do know him,when he only had a few horses in he pulled some good gambles off, i aint been to his place for about three years but he has a great spot and should have more winners,think the Wyllies need to spread their horses out a bit but they pay the bills.i think the Wyllies still sponsers some of his old jocks as they have the logo on their britches.
Anyone know why Wylie sold the unbeaten broodmare at the sales rcently?
Seemed a weird move for someone like him.

Longshotking is that a joke? The pacemaker clearly caused there to be a slow pace. If he hadn't been in there I dare say Silviniaco would have set a stronger tempo himself

The reason he got rid of the jockeys is coz they are b.ent.
Anyone who puts M Hammond in a trainers they like list knows little or fck all about training.

Kangaroo your right but can you say O'Regan and lee are 100% straight.

Yet another thread full of ill informed, thoughtless, tired old rubbish.
Using the fact that certain jockeys no longer ride for him as a reason to suggest he is a 'bully' or cant train is ridiculous.
Unless you truly 'know' why those jocks arent there anymore, you really arent placed to make such claims.

Unsavory.

I must admit i was glad they got rid of that last clown,he was to busy trying to look pretty if you ask me.
I knew when i saw him wearing his sunglasses on top of his head
I thought this muppet's a right poser.

^^^^^ 100% correct...We kicked O Regan off our horse due to his attitude.
fair ply re O'Regan but I think most of racing were shocked by the departures of Lee and Brennan.
I can form my own opinions dont need to listen to loons on here and for my money (and some others on this forum) he is a very poor trainer.
Of course he is the top trainer numbers wise in the North as he spends about £5m more per annum at the sales than anyone else....dohhhhhhhhhh

what did O'Regan do to offend, he seems to be a very unpopular jockey?

good for you, he is a bit of showboater I have to agree.
he won on Autumn Red at Leicester this week but even managed to sour that win as it was reported the horse had quite bad whip marks.....
keep looking at what joker posted bobby spandex(herblington)
He turned up to ride our horse in a really foul mood, then rode a shocker on it.....told trainer not to put him on again, worse than a woman on the monthly

so he spends 5m a year only 15m behind paul nicholls then aint he

Jesus I always thought O'Regan was by far the most talented jockey on the northern circuit and worth a few pound but each to their own. I think he has a great sense of flair about him. Why don't punters like stylish Irish jockeys?

Immense wit fella, your a genius in your own paintbrush.
"Bobbyspunkbreath" how old are you????
Pathetic efforts by all.
RAWCS if you find that funny I imagine that Friends is the limit of your comedy intellect.
Must try harder chaps.

yes i found the pics highly amusing bobby spandex(herblington),i think the w anchor one was to the point.
Your easily pleased fella but with a 3 inch dick I suppose it oums with the territory!!!
With hindsight and the dust settled, imo Hojo did a decent job with the Wylie horses, despite the money spent.If he hadn't lost his licence through the de-nerving controversy, am sure the Wylie's would have stayed in the sport longer.
