Be Good Johnny is an Australian born Standardbred pacer trained, owned and driven by John McCarthy of Logan Village, Queensland.
Be Good Johnny stepped up to higher class races in the middle of 2005 just as the Australian harness season was about to begin in Queensland.
Running a track record mile rate (1:56.2) at Albion Park for the 2680m gave him his first Grand Circuit win in the 2005 Trans-Tasman Cup.
Be Good Johnny made his first trip interstate for the Australasian Grand Circuit winning the 2005 Miracle Mile Pace and Victoria Cup.
Be Good Johnny came back from a spell after the Interdominion in October 2006, winning the Gold Coast Cup in a mile rate of 1:54.0 (the best by any pacer in Australia this year).
