we got to meet john henry 2 yrs ago at the horse park. the park wasn't real busy and he was last that day in the walk of champions show. we got to hang-out, pet, walk and take pictures with john until he'd had enough. instantly became mrs d favorite horse. he was a VERY neat old guy! take all walks you want, wherever you want. you really have done enough!

John was a 3 yo and just coming into his own when I first saw him at Belmont in '78. Saw him on quite a few occassions including his great JCGC and Turf Classic wins. I became interested in racing that summer of '78. The one link for me to horse racing over the last 29 years has been John Henry. There really is an empty feeling today. I did make it to the KHP in '02 and had my picture taken with him.
RIP you nasty little cur. We will all miss you.

RIP John Henry.
I actually had tears while I was reading the article this morning. He was the first ever and probably the best ever "gusty gelding". May he kick all their butts up in heaven...

A superb horse and possibly the most well known American horse as far as European racegoers are concerned because before the creation of the Arlington Million-i don't believe any American racing was ever shown here-and all the Millons he competed in were shown live on network TV here.
I'm glad I got to see him one last time just before the Breeders' Cup
