The 48 year old horseman from Arthur, ON needed just four starts in the bike at The Isle Casino Racing Pompano Park to break into the win column for 2012. In a maiden pace event on January 10, Henry followed the cover of first race favorite Tough Chief and driver David Ingraham to score with To Tell The Truth in 1:56.4. The Tell All-Living With Art filly was a modest $3,000 purchase as hip 676 at the 2009 Harrisburg Sale, and she was making the first start of her three year old season.
Last year, Henry turned in his top earning year in the bike with over $604,000 in purse earnings with 202 starters and 31 winners from a stable which included OSS performers Counter Pointe and Major Herbie. Henry is also a two time winner of the Johnston Cup saluting the top annual trainer in the Ontario program from 2006 and in 2007 when his training statistic topped the $1 million earnings plateau for the first time in his career.
