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.
