This is very sad news - Sir Johnny was deeply committed to the sport and always had time for everyone. Was particularly struck by his sheer delight at Top Wood's win at Aintree

Delighted to see this lovely colt win the Group 3 Autumn Stakes. Pinhooked in conjunction with @AtlasBloodstock and sold @Tattersalls1766 Bk 1 last year. Congratulations to all connections, an exciting colt for next year 🌟

This is my absolute favourite moment of Queen Elizabeth Il when she won £16 in the 1991 Derby. ❤️👏 God she is dearly dearly missed and sadly we won’t see the likes of her ever again. 🇬🇧

Thrilled to have sold this exciting colt to @hpalmerracing @SackvilleDonald at the @GoffsUK Premier Sale. 🐎 🎩
