Welcome to the John Henry Blog Site

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to the John Henry Blog site! The purpose of this site is to talk about our favorite thoroughbred, John Henry. Stories, questions, comments are welcome! John Henry recently celebrated his 32nd birthday on March 9, 2007. That is the equivalent of 100+ in human years.

Welcome aboard!

Dr. John

John Henry is the most amazing story of a living legend I've ever heard! I was introduced into his life early this year and couldn't wait to meet him in person... That's when I decided to attend his birthday party in March at the Lexington Horse Park in Kentucky.

John's story is one of "against all odds" and "stick-to-it-tiveness" ~ He is my inspiration as I proudly post his photo over my work desk as I strive to complete my Ph.D.

~ John Henry has touched my life in a way no other has come close to and I look forward to visiting him and his Blog Site often!

Dr. John said...

Thank you for your comments, I am glad you find John inspirational!

Best wishes on your PhD, I am sure you will succeed!

I have John Henry art on every wall in my office. On tough days I look at his image and recall Shoemaker's comment about John. "He was the most professional horse I ever rode. Even when he didn't win he never quit." Shoemaker's quote should be on the front wall of every classroom in America.

When I walk into my home, John Henry greets me as I have his picture by Barbara Livingston on the wall. I have other pix of him on my fridge from my visit to the Horse Park in 2005. I am so excited about his blog! What a great horse he is!

I tried to post a race from Youtube to the stories about John Henry and it didnot link it. Could you post some of the videos from there to your site, so more folks can see how great he is ?

Thanks - Point Given (HOTY 2001 )

Thank you so much for creating a John Henry blog for us all to enjoy. The photos of him are terrific! I visited KHP in early June and the Ol' Champ wasn't taking his daily walks yet. Do I wish he had been - I'd have waited all morning to see him pass by! As it was, I got a distant photo of him standing at the back of his pasture. The staff and volunteers at KHP have done wonders with John Henry; the love, care and attention he receives is a big part of his longevity. Thank you KHP! I love you John Henry, you are one-of-a-kind. Stay well.

OUR CHAMPION JOHN HENRY IS GONE!!!
Today, Monday, October 8, 2007 at 7:00 PM ET, JOHN HENRY was peacefully put to sleep in his stall at the Kentucky Horse Park in the company of those who worked with him.
His kidneys were failing and he was becoming more uncomfortable over the weekend.
I send my sincerest sympathies to all other who loved and respected this magnificent horse. I am grateful to the Good lord for giving us such a horse and champion.
JOHN HENRY runs with the other greats, young and strong, and vibrant again!!! Rest in peace, JOHN HENRY.

RIP John Henry! The Lord needed you in His stable!

My husband and I got to see John Henry in August 2007 in his stall at the Kentucky Horse Park. He was being attended to and receiving fluids so he was not very visible but it was still a thrill to catch glimpses of such a great racing champion. What a story his is! May John Henry, the beloved legend, rest in peace after a wonderful retirement. We feel blessed to have seen him before he passed away.

I used to watch "Big Bad John" every morning at Hollywood Park, back in the early 80's, and some times gallop right along side him for awhile, not for very long though, as he did not like that kind of company. While the backside was buzzing, Ole John was was left to do his thing. He wandered around the back stretch like he owned it.
And he did own it,for several years. Hollywood and Santa Anita both. He was the best, he was
"THE MAN".
RIP Big bad John...

When I was 13 years old I saw here on a TV a black & white the races of Secretariat winning the Triple Crown.I never forgot the horse that fitted to Boavista (a football club of the city of Oporto who playing with shirts to the squares). Later I read in newspapers the news of one victory by John Henry. I never forgotten the name of these two horses. One born prince, the other plebeu.Both died like Kings and, each in its own way, reigned in his kingdom.Today, when I see your races John Henry you make me cry.You are blood, sweet and tears.Warrior spirit.Nuance and detail.Soul of champion.Above all you are a ...masterpiece. Today, I'm sure you continue to win many races...in paradise.
From Portugal with love GREAT JOHN HENRY.

erectile dysfunction is nothing to be ashamed of. Many men suffer from and use male enhancement to feel more confident in their personal lives and to improve sexual performance. With so many techniques to choose from, it really depends on the individual to choose a method that best suits them.
