Description
From his early teenage years, Mark Johnston knew his destiny. Even as a schoolboy, he had been fired by the belief that he could become a successful racehorse trainer. The rise of the charismatic Johnston, aided by his wife Deidre, has been remarkable. The Authorised Biography reveals how Johnston has ascended from inauspicious origins to stand amongst the elite of the Turf, responsible for one of the most successful racing stables in the country. Yet, these pages do far more than chronicle his achievements. As ever, Johnston is forthright and provocative in his views on issues concerning horseracing, and many related subjects. As he wryly concedes: I just cannot help but argue the toss. He has never been afraid to court controversy or question conventional wisdom. The result is a biography which is always perceptive, always entertaining.
