Timeline
Philip G. Johnson, a native of Chicago, IL, was an American Hall of Fame trainer of Thoroughbred race horses.
Johnson bought his first Thoroughbred in 1942 for $75.
For 36 straight years, from 1962 until 2003, Johnson won at least one race at Saratoga.
Johnson was also the trainer of Quiet Little Table who beat Forego in a surprise win in the Suburban Handicap of 1977.
Among his many winning horses were several stakes winners, including Geraldine's Store, who won the Diana Handicap in 1983; Kiri's Clown, winner of the Sword Dancer Invitational in 1995; and Maplejinsky, who came in first in the 1998 Alabama Stakes.
In 1997 Philip Johnson was inducted into the Horse Racing Hall of Fame.
In the summer of 2000 Johnson began to train Volponi, a horse that he had bred himself and owned a 50 percent stake in with partner Edward Baier.
Volponi won his first stakes race, the Grade 3 Pilgrim Stakes, in 2000.
In 2001 he was the winner in the Pegasus Handicap, a Grade 2 stakes race.
He also won one more Grade 3 stakes race in 2002, the Poker Handicap.
Volponi eventually won the prestigious $4 million Breeders' Cup Classic back on Johnson's native turf of Arlington Park, on October 26, 2002.
The win was a shocking upset, memorable not only due to the long odds of 43-1, but also due to the record 6 ½ lengths Voloponi won by.
In 2002 Johnson was training 38 horses in his stable, which was based throughout the winter in New York.
Volponi continued to do well for Johnson throughout 2003, coming in second in five of the seven races he ran that year.
He trained until close to the time of his death on August 6, 2004.
Johnson's first racehorse, Song Master, was purchased at auction for $75.
Two years later the horse finally proved himself by winning at Hawthorne Race Course.
This win was Johnson's first in a long career that lasted 60 years.
During the early years of his career as a trainer Johnson worked in Arlington Park near Chicago, and the Detroit Fair Grounds in Michigan.
He also trained in Florida and Maryland, but eventually made his way to what became his permanent home in New York.
He won four training titles at Belmont, three titles at Aqueduct, and one at Saratoga.
On July 9, 2004 Johnson entered Angela's Angel in a Maiden Special Weight turf race at Belmont Park in New York.
The horse came in tenth place.
One month later, on August 6, 2004, Johnson died.
