Johnston horses that tail off

YUP---how many more times will we say it and see it----i despise the man---be a 8-1 shot in a couple of runs and bolt up

It's getting beyond a joke now.  What is more blatant. Is that they are ALWAYS 'backed'
His drifters don't tail off

and i never had a bet in the race

no doubt it will be out next week and shiit in

leave Johnston alone, that guy makes me plenty laying his jollies, pity i'm too compulsive to bet in other races.

I seem the price this morning and was waiting all day for it to see if it held 'support' then it did and I fully expected it to be tailed off.... I dunno why I stood aghast as it did indeed!! Come tailed off last. Hahah MJ is such a complete t wat it's beyond a joke now

he's no different to most trainers with his favs

if you are laying you are being selective so the trainer is not the most relevant factor

Favourites    633    263    42%    58.06    418    66%

johnston favs all races on good/firm or faster

Favourites    1881    687    37%    -159.98    1152    61%

the above for all his favs since 2003, nothing out of the ordinary, better than many trainers.

what about this season ?

Its not that they get beat its the fact they can be beaten half the track and run again within the month and pi55 up

2013    49    18    37%    -8.43    31    63%


this year

i'm not saying he's not layable with favs but certainly no blanket system

exactly biscar

cheers

agree biscar its the remarkable transformations and usually in stronger races than the ones they were tailed off in.

Nellie Bly at Lingfield there, beaten 62 lengths 12 days ago leads till inside the final furlong, btn a length and a half today

biscar---exactly

just another rancid operation. defo giving the horses something for them to tail off/perform so badly

But MJ never has a bet

Not sure about Deirdre and that lad of his though

MJ "Always Lying".

Can't argue with the always trying thing though I've always found him very trying

and to think they have started in the greyhound buisiness---god forbid

Mojave Desert 2.50. Virtually pulled up last week.

this ones been shocking bix in 2 runs

trip should have been ok too

just looks a very modest animal

50/1 so it would have to have a treble dose of Al's concoction to figure but nothing would surprise me with this stable?.

hannon and johnston similar number of runners last 7 years

hannon horses tailed off last run btn 30l or more:159

johnston:413

*last 10 years should have been (since 2003 )

Interesting stat edge,

Sir Graham Wade didnt exactly cover himself in glory when 9/4 2nd fav last time, much better race today usually the cue for a remarkable transformation?.

yes looks like one of his ones silver greaser

improvement then a bit of a stall, people think no more improvement then another pb after a moderate run (especially if upped in trip).

i suppose with SGW, fitness could have been the reason for 1st run.

well that sure improved from nowhere

he and fanning are fooking disgusting individuals

And some people still defend this rancid mob religiously?, his luck has to run out sometime?.

amazing what a difference 9 days makes

one of the best aw sires shamardal, ran an absolute stinker at kempton lto

edge, getting back to SGW 3 of the 4 horses who finished ahead of him were also having their first bow of the season.

perhaps this horse really needed it a lot

was beat miles from 2 to 3 debut then won next time.

wouldn't be surprised to see it much sharper, not a betting race for me though.

* i get that the 3yo debut may have been too sharp (10f) as won when stepped up.

be interesting to see, just never know with MJ.

i think its best to stick at his fav courses/race types

he is very good at southwell with 3yo track debutants (30% from 150 runners). also very strong at beverley.

most of hte time though i just have no idea what sort of horse is going to turn up at the track. i think more of his are tailed off because they are so aggressively ridden, if they are not spot on they end up out the back after blowing a gasket.

as grade one tracks go he likes Ascot and Goodwood and is very fond of these staying flat races.

i think this one will win silvergreaser

just cannot bring myself to back it though

Well we got one thing right edge predicted a marked improvement in form stand by for it to tail off next time at 4/6?

decent run wasn't it

And another

i just backed stouteys there very good with mdn 3yos against elders in hcps, especially upped in trip 1m+

johnston only 8% with 4yos in the 3yo+ hcps

5/2jf beaten around 56L's last of 6 in 10f race on good to firm ground should be virtually unheard of, he must be taking the proverbial p---?

Joke ride from Fanning, it was like he just didnt fancy making the gap his own, then we get the usual, half-@rsed slapping down the neck with the reins for a stride or two, before the virtual pulling up of the horse.......
Doubt there'll be anything reported, but you'd think any half decent pundits would be more questioning of the action (or lack of it) from the saddle?

Wouldnt be the biggest shock if this thing ran well in the next, might get a soft lead????????

dropped a lot for 2 runs

should be competitive off 75 if back in form but ???

more likely his type of race to get one of these to win

couldn't touch it though

really like stoutes backed it last time and it needed every yard to get up lto. will improve but so could a few others.

left it alone today

apologies

i actually bottled backing it lto because of trip
