The New Jersey Thoroughbred Horsemen s Association issued the following statement on the passing of horseman John Forbes, their longtime president who passed away Sunday at the age of 73.
We are incredibly saddened by the passing of our friend, colleague and mentor John Forbes.
Born to a family of horsemen, John was the consummate horseman. He was old-school. He was devoted to the horse, the industry and its people. He was never satisfied with the status quo. He demanded of the industry that which he expected of himselfâhonesty, integrity, hard work and an unrelenting determination to protect the health, safety and welfare of the horse, the integrity of our sport and the welfare of those who worked on the backstretch. He was a generous, compassionate and decent man. He was beloved and respected by everyone who knew and worked with him.
