I watched him race when I was a kid. He caught my attention because my favorite teacher had the same name. I thought anybody who is named after such a great horse had to be cool. I wish him many more birthdays to come.

Thank you so much for this information! I have loved John Henry ever since I read him on a book when I was kid. John Henry is very funny and cute old man. I saw him at the Kentucky Horse Park and you now what? He kissed me on the cheek!! I love him. FOR EVER JOHN HENRY RULES THE RACE TRACK WIT ALL OTHER HORSES!!

You gotta love John. I have the “dubious” honor of getting bitten by him while visiting KHP in 1985. Being a horseperson – without even thinking about “Who” he was – I smacked him in the side of the head! His groom thought that was hilarious! He was a naughty boy! He let me think he was enjoying the attention and wow – he was as fast with his teeth as he was with his feet!! Many more, you grouchy ol’ guy!

I’m glad to hear this remarkable horse is doing well! Only wish your article had featured a current picture of the birthday boy.
