Go Johnny, 7 years old, today at Exeter.
Rest in peace.
Excerpt, Comments (Racing post).....
CRYSTAL D’AINAY has his quirks but Alan King’s useful stayer quite readily took advantage of a gilt-edged opportunity in a race where favourite Minella Tiperrary disappointed and Go Johnny took a fatal early fall. The former high-class staying hurdler missed last season with a leg injury and disappointed on his reappearance, but the way he reeled-in top weight Eric's Charm before dossing in front indicates much of the old ability is still there. His trainer Alan King ruled-out the Welsh nationaland will allow him to 'do his own thing' in a chase-only campaign.
