The Telegraph...
A top performance from the topweight. Final Touch is a much classier galloper than I had previously thought.
Rumpole...another top ride from your man. Mr Johnson was, as always, humble in victory...an admirable quality shared by the Parsons team.
A top training performance on their part, especially so given the variety of distances their mare has competed over of late.
Congratulations must also go to the Christchurch-based scribe, who posts on this Forum as "Dizzy", for his perspicacity. Very well done indeed.
The continued riding excellence that is Chris Johnson always serves to remind me that the racing industry has a heart.
The racing industry as a whole (and on the whole) has looked after Mr Johnson and he has repeatedly repaid the industry's investment.
A Group One winning rider with a very recent Grand National Hurdles win (aboard Kid Columbus) to his credit...not your everyday occurrence.
Cheers.
