Kelso was named Horse of the Year five years in a row from 1960 to 1964, Forego claimed that title three times in the 1970's and John Henry twice in the 1980's.

In fact, from 1919 to 1956, geldings were prohibited from running in the Belmont Stakes, so owners intent on making a killing in the breeding shed did not have to worry about having a payday spoiled by an animal who could not procreate.
