More than 500 pay respects to thoroughbred great John Henry

More than 500 people attended a graveside memorial Friday for John Henry, the thoroughbred great remembered by one of his jockeys as a “tremendous legend” and a horse who could draw fans to tracks across the country. John Henry, who won $6.5 million and became America’s richest racehorse before retiring in 1985, was euthanized last week at 32 at Kentucky Horse Park.
