John Henry's PPs (via GPK)
A look at John Henry'a PPs denotes a stark departure from today's racing.Look at the number of runners listed. There are many graded stakes with 9 or more runners. even in California. Compare to the sparse fields in major races today.

If anyone wants to know anything about any of John's races, let me know. I have the PPs which I cut out of the DRF in '84 prior to his Turf Classic victory over Win and All Along.

How about JH getting trounced in a $20,000 claimer in '78, then two years later, winning six straight graded stakes.

So John Henry's lifetime earnings in 1984 were $6,597,947.00, todays earnings would be $12,683,233.00 I rounded it off. That's remarkable. Edit: Corrected this, sorry the site and I were not working properly at the moment. I was off 2 decimals as will be noted in further posts. Last edited by FGFan : 10-10-2007 at 03:56 PM.
