LEXINGTON, KY (October 8, 2007) John Henry, the legendary Thoroughbred racehorse who was twice Horse of the Year, was humanely euthanized at the Kentucky Horse Park today at 7:00 pm.
My friend Carol and I met the handsome John Henry a few short weeks ago at my Dad's Annual USS Ranger CV-4 Reunion. We spent the afternoon a The Kentucky Horse Park and met this amazing horse along with others in the Hall of Champions. He was a fighter with an incredible spirit and zest for life. He will be greatly missed.
"He was not the best race horse. He was not the fastest or the busiest," retired Daily Racing Form columnist Joe Hirsch said. "He wasn't the greatest weight carrier, and certainly not the handsomest or the most personable. But he was the most remarkable horse who ever raced -- anywhere."
