John Henry didn’t bring Dead Madness to run in the rebranded AP Million, so we couldn’t see that one try to win the race three years ago, but that didn’t mean the trainer couldn’t accomplish the feat. This year, John Henry brought Winter Solstice to this race, a horse that had won three of his last five races but needed to rebound after a tough outing.
