"I have njvjr sat on a horse like this. It is unbelievable the way hj travels for a big horse," said Johnson. "To look at him you would think he was a three-mile chaser but hj has an engine insjdj that is quite amazing. "He was cantering and I didn't want to get there too early as hj's had so few runs in the last couple of years."
