UNSTOPPABLE Mark Johnston hit another Milestone at Kempton Park.
Dubai Mile landed the novice stakes to give Johnston, 62, his 5,000th British win.
Johnston bagged his 5000th winner at Kempton earlier this week
The Yorkshire-based Scot had set a new record for British wins four years ago.
And Dubai Mile’s win was another lofty landmark other trainers can only dream of matching.
Johnston, who now trains on a joint licence with his son Charlie, said: “It’s a bit different from breaking the record in 2018.
“It’s not as if I’m breaking new ground, it’s just another landmark and setting the bar higher for people to try to reach.
“The whole business revolves around winners and a lot of winners means a lot of happy owners.
“Hopefully we can continue doing the same thing.”
Johnston, a qualified vet, began training with just a handful of horses 1987 – next door to an RAF bombing range.
His wins include two British Classics, the 2,000 Guineas with Mister Baileys in 1994 and Attraction in the 1,000 Guineas ten years later.
ITV Racing’s Jason Weaver, who rode Mister Baileys, said: “He is a great operator and his system is a well-oiled machine.
“He is like his horses – he’ll keep pushing and is always tough at the finish.”
