Having got to 3,500, Richard Johnson needs at least another four and a half seasons to set a new record for career wins
I was at Warwick yesterday to see Richard Johnson notch the 3,500th winner of his career, on an 8-1 shot in a novice hurdle. If I’d been watching on telly, I might have been struck down with ennui at the mention of a milestone that derives much of its significance from the decimal number system, but I was there to talk it over with him and see how unaffectedly happy he was to have done it.
