A great video in an era when horses were bigger than Baseball players. I was at the track when he beat Peat Moss in THe JC Gold Cup. Peat Moss was over 50/1 and a career claimewr that got good at the right time
Thanks for posting! I saw John Henry run at the Fair Grounds two times back in 1977/78, but he was mainly unimpressively then. Once he went to the bigger tracks he came into his own.
Hi cf1070, I was wondering why the ratings has been disabled? This is wonderful footage and I wanted to give it a high rating. Thank you! John Henry is my FAVORITE horse!
Hi, glad you enjoyed it and thank you for your kind words. I've disabled the ratings on all of my videos because I've found people were rating videos with 1 or 2 stars, which was harsh. It was a tough decision, but I grew tired of seeing those unfair ratings. I'm not going to let that tarnish the horses here.
Wow, John Henry so right his name in this video. The last race pumping iron as the legend said so.
