Johnnie was always hard to catch. You should have tired driving him when we were breaking him in. Would take off at the drop of a hat but it was fun. We called him Johnnie from the start then when john bought him he would walk into his yard saying be good johnnie, so that is how he got his name. Have now got both 2 yr olds back in work so hopefully they will be ready to race as 3 yr olds.
