Johnston eyeing Leger target for Glasgow scorer Subjectivist
Goodwood could be next for Hamilton Listed winner.
Mark Johnston believes Subjectivist could develop into a St Leger contender after providing him with a sixth victory in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Glasgow Stakes at Hamilton.
It is 13 years since the Glasgow native first claimed the Listed prize with Boscobel in 2007. Johnston went on to land the next three renewals with Captain Webb, Parthenon and Corsica, before striking again in 2013 with Maputo. The winning-most trainer in British racing history fielded two of the five runners this time around, with Subjectivist – a half-brother to last season’s St Leger runner-up Sir Ron Priestley – joined by stable companion Tulip Fields. Ridden by Joe Fanning, Subjectivist was the 7-4 favourite after solid placed efforts in the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot and a valuable handicap at Haydock – and he was soon bowling along in front.Masham Star stays on strongly to win the Birra Moretti Handicap at @HamiltonParkRC, landing a treble on the day for @Johnston_Racing pic.twitter.com/rGwf0UZsKj
