He looks ready to stomp somebody's butt...perhaps whoever put that goofy hat on his head.

Hey! I have that hat and I wore it a couple of weeks ago... I will wear it on FLA Derby day next year when I meet some of you at Gulfstream. After he wins the Classic you all will be ordering them...

Sorry Buffy, I would bet on John Henry winning the Classic before Drift, he could probably beat him to the wire now.

Sorry... I had to laugh at this comment... too funny!

John Henry IS full of himself, that's for certain. LOL

Not that I'm a Dinosaur or anything, but... I had the pleasure of seeing a few of John Henry's races in person. He would even pin his ears back and snake his neck while being saddled. Than when walking in the ring he would look all sweet and innocent, kind of like a Venus Flytrap!

Oh, I like John Henry. One gusty gelding (and a mean one to boot!)

John Henry...a horse that actually ran more than 5 times a year. Hows that for a concept!

I have a picture that I took at the Horse Park of John Henry, he was looking right at the camera, "if looks could kill", I would post it, but it was before I had a digital camera.

Old John Henry set a lot of records. I hope he is destined to set one more...longest lived T-Ro. I think 37yrs is the record.

I like John Henry and Perfect Drift, but I think John Henry is finally getting senile on us.
