David Johnson (21 September 1943 – 6 July 2013) was a British businessman, known for owning National Hunt racehorses.
[1][7] Johnson formed a close relationship with the trainer, Martin Pipe, and from the early 1990's the pair enjoyed great success.
AP McCoy, and later Timmy Murphy, were the primary jockeys to carry Johnson's silks - a mixture of blue, white and green.
[9][10] Other notable horses owned by Johnson included Well Chief, Our Vic, Cyfor Malta, Classified and It Takes Time.
[11] Following the challenges of the 2007-2008 financial crisis, Johnson scaled back his ownership restructuring but remaining with the Pipe stables.
