The Yorkshire-based trainer needs just five more winners this year to match the tally of 235 set by Richard Hannon Sr
Mark Johnston stands on the brink of another record, just a year after becoming the trainer with most winners in
British racing history. The Middleham man has had 230 winners this year and needs just five more to match the Flat-racing record of 235.
That record has stood since 2013, when Richard Hannon Sr set it in his final season before handing on the licence to his son. Richard Fahey matched it a couple of years later, though it took him until after
Christmas to get there and he had a handful of runners up to New Year’s Eve in an attempt to break it.
