“Very rarely, you come across a horse where the opposition isn’t a factor at all. Subjectivist was such a horse. In 2021, I truly believed that there wasn’t a horse in the world that could beat him at two miles or more, in any ground.”

Mark Johnston, trainer

““Incredibly tough, honest and genuine.”

Joe Fanning, jockey

“I’ve heard great reports about his first foals and am delighted with the one I have at home. I’ll continue to support him, as will his owners — I’m convinced he has the pedigree, conformation and form to be a successful sire on the flat and over jumps.” Mark Johnston, Subjectivist’s trainer and part-owner
