Nicknamed ‘Miracle’, Malcolm Johnston won more than 2000 races and claimed three Sydney premierships. He rode champion galloper Kingston Town to 25 of his 30 wins including the 1980 Cox Plate. Johnston will be the guest speaker at the Group One Sponsors and Supporters Dinner at the Te Aroha Jockey Club next Tuesday. Limited tickets are available for $60 each for the dinner, which begins with pre-dinner drinks at 6pm. An outdoor bowling tournament will take place on Thursday, with $10 entry.

Memphis2 1,078 Report post Posted March 30, 2017 Sounds great. He is a barrel of laughs and always good for a funny stunt or two. Dont bring up his ride on K Town in the Cup. I'm sure he is totally over it being brought up continually. Beaten by a dream run for the winner. Should get a good roll up for him. Be good to attend and for the bowls.
