Back of Plate reads:  "While the champion colts are soon retired from the track to stallion duty after their early triumphs, the gelding races on.   That was Kelso's story. He raced on, Saturday after Saturday, through the early 1960's. He was the hero of the everyday race fan conquering all comers-at any distance, over every kind of track, carting any kind of weight.  Kelso won 39 of 63 races. For five years in a row he was Horse of the year-and he could have been elected mayor of New York if they let horses run for office.   On October 15, 1983 Kelso was brought to Belmont Park in New York along with two other great geldings, Forego and John Henry to appear before the public. Maybe that one last ovation was what Kelso had been waiting to hear. A few days later the great gelding passed away at the age of 26. Kelso's jockey, the great Eddie Arcaro, winner of five Kentucky Derby's on such super horses as Citation, ranks Kelso as the best horse he has ever ridden."
