On Nov. 16, a special DVD chronicling the public memorial service for the legendary racehorse John Henry became available to fans. The memorial film, from HorseRacing TV (HRTV), also contains footage of his brilliant career.
All profits from the DVD will be donated to Old Friends Thoroughbred retirement facility based in Lexington, Ky., and earmarked for the John Henry Memorial at the Hall of Champions in the Kentucky Horse Park.
In addition to the memorial service coverage and career highlights, the DVD features interviews with trainer Ron McAnally, Lewis Cenicola and Cathy Roby, who cared for John Henry during most of his life at the Hall of Champions barn.
The DVD may be purchased for $19.95 at Champions! Gifts and Apparels at the Santa Anita racetrack in California, or by calling (800) 675-2114.
