Howard Johnson - Trainer

what a mug he is looking

Im just happy for the owner, Put a lot of money in to the game now getting the rewards now the horses are with "proper trainers"

Yes, delighted for Wylie.

Two big wins today for him with Nicholls and Mullins. Cream of the crop.

Hopefully Wylie will get back his old enthusiasm back and send more horses to the trainers he now uses.

Wylie must be aghast that he ever sent horses to Johnson.

At least he is now getting a proper return with decent trainers.

Agree with all comments.

The owner deserves success after all he's put into the game and comes across as open, honest and loyal.

it was the ground, if the ground would have been good then he wouldnt have won. im sure of that.

really pleased for whylie, i backed Tidal Bay in last years Gold Cup as ive always thought he is the most talented horse when he behaves.

If the gold Cup turns up to be a bog on the day, then i think tidal should be fav.

I so cursing myself for being too bullish last year about tidal, got my timing completley wrong like a knob!

Is everyone forgetting about all the Cheltenham winners.  HJ was a good trainer, loads of horses get a revival with a trainer switch, and this is one of them.

Plus Direct Route

If Tidal Bay was still with Johnson, it would be running at Catterick today.

When it arrived at Ditcheat it had a physical problem - which Nicholls' team sorted.

Was H-J aware?

yes he was going to kill the nerves so it didnt feel anything imho

He wouldn't have known about that as his vet won't have told him.

h.j was hopeless wylie spent fortunes on quality and quantity .h.j bought all kinds of **** for way over the odds i remember him paying 100k for a sheila crow pointer was average at best and h.j steamed in with poor wylies chequebook

did they ever catch the armed robbers who held him up

Wonder if he still keeps tens of thousands of pounds in cash in his house?

lol!

Did  Hojo not win the national lottery 13 million and went to live in Sark.?

I wouldn't want to live in a house where i'd been robbed of thousands of pounds of cash that i just happened to have laying on a table.
i don't know how he does it ? maybe he's nerveless?

after the phoning a.j martin(tony martin),he told him to get a shot gun licence and wait every night putting down traps etc,he only forget to dial the ireland code first and got put through to norfolk .

enter at your peril.

wasn't he from gypsy stock...might explain some of his bad luck

who - i hope i have a unlucky life like he does,obviously something was up at the stable ,affairs with married people ,robberies ,lack of winners,etc etc- something or someone was a bad apple.

I would'nt have graham whylie down as a gentleman after what he said at the racing awards a few years back when making a speech, very rude!
