travel_vic · Why do we often say great geldings? One has to look no further than this guy. Huge weight carrier, a step of way from lameness on spindly legs who ran short and long at or beating track records...Kelso. John Henry and Old Bones were the warriors · 515 days ago ·

sjuwill · Thank You Brian, what a wonderful race for a wonderful horse that you know im so dearly proud of.....watching him take on all comers, id always be nervous on the wet tracks, carrying whatever weight was put upon him, being born the same year as Sectetariat was the only bad luck for him...what a thrill to watch everytime and that why he remains one of my all time favorites. · 514 days ago ·

bloodster · Was never a big Forego fan but have to admit you have to admire the way he carried the weight. I think I saw this one at bemont as I was there on most weekends in the 70's. · 507 days ago ·
