What's pretty amazing about John Henry is that he won at least one stake a year from his two-year-old season through his nine year old season.

At age 2: He won the Lafayette Futurity by a head over the filly Lil' Liza Jayne (who was 14-for-33 and a stakes winner at 2, 3, and 4) The 3rd place finisher was 24 time winner, and multiple Stakes winner Sound Note

At age 3: John Henry won two stakes. One a 12 length victory in the Grade 3 Round Table at AP. The other a stake win at Penn National.

At age 4: He won a division of the HP Russell Stake at Santa Anita

At age 5: He won four Grade 1 races and 8 Graded stakes overall

At age 6: He was a multiple Grade 1 winner on dirt and won three Grade 1's on turf, not including the ungraded inaugural Arlington Million.

At age 7: Won Grade 1 races on both surfaces.

At age 8: Two Graded Stakes wins, including a Grade 1

At age 9: Four Grade 1 wins.
