I wasn't able to find this exact passage on Wikipedia, but if it's out there, it appears that the person who wrote it is a little confused about the year the statue is awarded vs the year that it's awarded for. Also, it's apparent that the writer scanned the HOTY table and determined that the only horses to win the award twice did it back-to-back, thereby excluding John Henry.....a pretty good horse that won his 2 HOTY titles in non-consecutive years.

Wikipedia's great, but it's not Britannica, and it's certainly not the American Racing Manual.

That is correct, for the 2007 and 2008 year's awards.
