Top team at the treble

Northern jump racing’s top trio of Howard Johnson, Graham Wylie and Graham Lee kicked off the New Year in great style with a three-timer at Catterick thanks to wins with Zeitgeist, Turnstile and Motive.

The trainer, owner and jockey had a memorable 2005, most notably combining to win three races at the Cheltenham Festival, and all the signs are there that the coming months could prove equally successful.
