Mark Johnston has been a great advocate of corporate ownership since the very beginning of his training career and made a name for himself in the early days with horses for Hinari Consumer Electronics, Baileys Horse Feeds and Brian Yeardley Continental Limited.

Racehorse ownership lends itself perfectly to corporate involvement with valuable advertising sites available on jockeys, stable lads’ and horses’ clothing and, of course, the opportunity to name the horse for life.

Mark Johnston sees corporate ownership as one of the principal ways forward for British racing and he would welcome the opportunity to visit companies and discuss the possibilities with directors.
