Default things you find...

about John Forsythe... (the actor)

He owned and bred Thoroughbred racehorses for many years and was a member of the Board of Directors of Hollywood Park Racetrack.

Among his successes, in partnership with film producer Martin Ritt he won the 1976 Longacres Mile with Yu Wipi.

In the 1980s, John Forsythe served as the regular host for the annual Eclipse Awards. He was the recipient of the 1988 Eclipse Award of Merit for his contribution in promoting the sport of Thoroughbred racing.
