River Arrow won at Southwell
A HORSE bred by Herefordshire jockey Richard Johnson had a fine win at Southwell last week.

The horse was ridden by James Davies and passed Johnson, who was riding for his boss Philip Hobbs.
Last May, River Arrow was bought by county farmer Frank Green and Michael Roberts, of C.F. Roberts Electricians and is trained by Tom Symonds.
