Eastern gives Johnston famous five

Eastern Aria provided trainer Mark Johnston with his fifth winner of Glorious Goodwood by coming home two and a quarter lengths clear in the Bluesquarepoker.com Stakes.Relentless rain on the Sussex Downs made it nearly impossible to pick out the runners for many of the mile and three furlongs, but Greg Fairley booted the 14-1 shot in front at the two-pole and never looked back.The plucky filly was conceding weight all-round to the colts, and Johnston said: "We thought the ground being soft had gone against her but it hadn't. I told Greg he was on the best horse in the race when I was saddling up and she was always travelling very easily."
