John Henry turns 32 tomorrow!
 
Happy birthday to a great horse...still as mean and nasty as ever so they say! A true hero...one of the best!

i saw the article earlier, and got a good laugh at the headline. you know those folks will miss him terribly when he's gone-may that be many years from now.
i can't think of a better horse to set the record for longevity. go john henry!

i dont know man. back in 2000, tammy (his groom) brought him and cigar out for me and a couple of other aolers and he was extremely nice. he let me pet him for as long as i wanted.

maybe he senses fear in people?

anyways, it's good to see him still kickin.

Will he beat Anna Nicole's record? Anna -250 JH +200 (39 for a horse will be hard to do)

Happy Birthday to the old man. Saw him at the Horse Park last year and there was a little twinkle left in his eye.

Nothing better than him and The Bart slugging it out ar Arlington with Phil Georgeff going nuts on the call!

Tomorrow is the love of my life's birthday too -- my wife! Glad to discover that she shares her special day with one of the all-time greats, John Henry.

I will hoist a glass in his honor tomorrow evening.
