More than 500 pay respects to thoroughbred great John Henry

Bart Davidson plays the bagpipes as he walks from the Hall of Champions barn at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Ky., Friday, Oct. 19, 2007, to begin a memorial service for racing legend John Henry. The two-time Horse of the Year, who earned more than $6.5 million before retiring as a gelding to the Kentucky Horse Park where he became an icon, was euthanized on Oct. 8, 2007, in his paddock at the park.

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.
