John Jenry dead at 32

10-09-07, 02:08 PM

Saw this guy last fall at the Kentucky Horse Park, and everyone knew his time was running out. But to last 32 years was remarkable.

Only saw his last few races, but lots of replays on youtube to see. What a great horse.

His last race in 1984. Watch how the jockey holds him back on the turn to let everyone clear, then angle him out and mow down horses half his age.

One special animal who brings back fond memories of track days from the past. Next stop Gateway Fields and a match race with big red.
