Re: Horse Racing
Johnston strikes with Universal.

Mark Johnston can start mapping out an attractive plan for Universal after his gutsy victory in the Dubai Duty Free Finest Surprise (John Porter) Stakes at Newbury.
Although the chestnut (11-1) could only manage one third from his stint in Dubai, his health has clearly benefited from the Gulf warmth as he had landed a Lingfield handicap a fortnight earlier.
Tenacious from the front under Silvestre de Sousa, he looked a sitting duck when 5-4 favourite Noble Mission loomed alongside, but Frankel's brother failed to really go through with his challenge and had to settle for third, two heads behind Universal and Quiz Mistress.
