IT was great to see Richard Johnson back riding at Musselburgh on Thursday, and back with a double too. Two wins from two rides.
When the champion jockey broke his arm in a fall at Exeter on January 21st, he was three behind Brian Hughes, and the championship really looked lost. Brian Hughes rode winners too during the five weeks that Johnson was out, 17 of them, so that, on Thursday morning, the gap between the pair of them was 20. Now it’s 18, 131 to 113.
