Racehorse trainer Mark Johnston is a lynchpin of British flat racing. In August 2018 - when 20-1 shot Poet's Society, ridden by Frankie Dettori, streaked to victory at York - Mark became the most prolific winning trainer in British racing history, saddling 4,194 winners.

Based in a 300-acre training yard in Yorkshire, he has never trained fewer than 100 winners each season for the last 26 years including champions such as Attraction, Mister Baileys, Double Trigger and Shamardal.

Mark grew up on a council estate in East Kilbride and learned to ride when he was a child. His father was a horse lover who enjoyed a flutter and took the young Mark to the bookies when he placed his bets - although Mark was too young to go inside. As a 14-year-old Mark raced whippets and later studied veterinary medicine at Glasgow University but his dream was always to become a racehorse trainer.

In 1986, together with his wife and business partner Deirdre, Mark bought his first yard. He had no money or connections in the racing world and had three-and-a-half paying horses rather than the 12 he needed under the terms of his trainer's licence. In these early days, the horses trained on a nearby beach that doubled up as an MOD bombing range.

Johnston horses are known for their front-running style - he believes races aren't won by horses accelerating and passing the other runners, but when the horses in front slow down. He says: "I tell my jockeys to bowl along at the speed the horse is happiest."

赛马训练师马克-约翰斯顿是英国平地赛马的一个关键人物。2018年8月--当弗兰基-德托里（Frankie Dettori）骑着20-1的 "诗人协会"（Poet's Society）在约克赛马场取得胜利时--马克成为英国赛马史上获胜最多的练马师，共驾驭了4194名赢家。

他在约克郡的一个300英亩的训练场里，在过去的26年里，每个赛季训练的获胜者从未少于100人，包括Attraction、Mister Baileys、Double Trigger和Shamardal等冠军。

马克在东基尔布赖德（East Kilbride）的一个委员会庄园长大，在他还是个孩子的时候就学会了骑马。他的父亲是个爱马之人，他喜欢赌马，并在下注时带年幼的马克去赌马--尽管马克当时太小，不能进去。14岁时，马克参加了鞭毛犬比赛，后来在格拉斯哥大学学习兽医学，但他的梦想一直是成为一名赛马训练师。

1986年，马克与他的妻子和商业伙伴迪尔德丽一起，买下了他的第一个马场。他在赛马界没有钱，也没有关系，他有三匹半付费马，而不是他的驯马师执照上规定的12匹。在这些早期的日子里，马匹在附近的海滩上训练，那里是国防部的一个轰炸场。

约翰斯顿的马匹以其跑在前面的风格而闻名--他认为比赛不是由马匹加速并超过其他选手而赢得的，而是当前面的马匹慢下来的时候。他说："我告诉我的骑师，要以马匹最高兴的速度前进。
