Thanks again.
Yes, Kelso was a great one. Stymie was a favorite of my Dad’s too.
JH sold for $1300.00 at an auction.
I had to go to youtube to see the video myself. Just type in 2013 Brooklyn Handicap and scroll down until you see the horse’s name.
My dad was almost obsessed with John Henry. I wish I had paid more attention to everything he told me. Miss you Dad! Happy Fathers Day and birthday on the 17th!
“Amazing” is a good word for this.
Thanks for posting.

Sloppy track — his faddah was a mudder, his mudder was a mudder.
That still gets my blood pumping, even though the whole industry is mob-dominated. Third turn, it looks like that horse just flipped a switch.

Nope, he’s off to stud now apparently.
