Five Richard Johnson crowd-pleasers at the Cheltenham Festival

Four-time champion jockey Richard Johnson is still a regular on the Cheltenham Festival circuit, so Sports News Blitz decided to pick out a handful of his best short-priced winners at Prestbury Park.

Johnson hung up his silks in 2021, but he collected over 3,500 winners in his career, including two Gold Cups, a Queen Mother Champion Chase and a Champion Hurdle among his 22 Cheltenham Festival winners.

Everyone loves leaving Cheltenham after picking a winner or two, and the tough-as-old-boots Johnson has provided a regular supply of winnings to favourite backers.

Sports News Blitz looks back at some of his most memorable successes priced at 5/1 and under at the Cheltenham Festival, to help you get all misty-eyed before we go again in 2027.
