Richie McLernon ensured his sole ride at this year’s Cheltenham Festival proved a memorable one as Johnnywho surged to victory, delivering a performance that owed as much to patience as it did to precision.

Twelve months earlier the Jonjo and AJ O’Neill-trained nine-year-old had finished second in the Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup Amateur Jockeys’ Handicap Chase, but this time he returned to the Cotswolds to gain his compensation. The success also provided McLernon with his first Festival winner since 2014.

For much of the journey Johnnywho was tucked away among rivals, travelling strongly beneath his rider. Sent off at 18-1 and sporting first-time cheekpieces following a wind operation, he appeared to be moving with purpose throughout, provided the gaps came when required.

Turning for home it seemed the long-time leader Quebecois had most of the field under pressure as they straightened for the final two fences. As the pace lifted, those in behind were being urged along, and for a moment it looked as though Search For Glory might swoop late. However, that challenge ended abruptly when James Smith was unseated a few strides after the final fence, leaving Quebecois to fend off the late thrust of the JP McManus-owned pair Johnnywho and Jagwar.

Quebecois attempted to make every yard count, but McLernon had his mount poised for the decisive moment. Driving Johnnywho through the gap, he edged past the tiring leader before holding off Jagwar by half a length to secure the prize. In doing so McLernon added to the Ultima successes he had previously enjoyed aboard Alfie Sherrin in 2012 and Holywell two years later.

AJ O’Neill, joint-trainer, said: “It is fantastic to get my first Cheltenham Festival winner since joining dad on the licence and Richie gave him an unbelievable ride. “He has threatened to land a big one a couple of times and it is great to do it here.

“It was absolutely fantastic as it was great to come back here after going so close in the Kim Muir last year and go one better. He had the headgear on and he seemed to be much more happy as well.

“Richie got a great tune out of him and he jumped like a stag. He had him in the right place throughout and it was great to get it done.

“I say Richie was always going to make space so there was always going to be a bit of room if Richie was there if he had the horse underneath him, and thankfully he had that.

“To be honest I was just hoping we could keep our nose in front when Jagwar was charging, and luckily we were able to do so. It was fantastic to do that.

“Richie gave him a fantastic ride so it was great to see it all work out. This was his only entry as he was too high for the Kim Muir so thankfully it all worked out.”

McLernon himself was quick to reflect on how difficult Festival victories can be to secure.

McLernon said: “It was a long time since Holywell won and these winners are hard to get. I was quite young when I won them before and they are hard to get. When you get them you appreciate them. You come back every year hoping. I only had one bullet to fire this week and luckily we hit the target. I’m delighted.

“To be fair Jonjo (O’Neill, junior) rides him all the time and the team at home have done a super job. I’m just lucky to be on him today.

“Jonjo had Iroko and I’m just thrilled that JP’s team put me on him, and the O’Neill team as well as they have been long time supporters of me. It has paid dividends.

“He was quite calm to the start and I said to the lad leading him up I hope he picks up a bit more in the race. His jumping was very good and the ground was dry enough, and it took him a little while to warm up. But to be fair we went a nice gallop.

“He was very unlucky last year as the race panned out too well in front of him. He got there and missed the last a little bit whereas today he had something to aim at the last and that helped him.”
