In 1874, Pierre's horse, Saxon, won the Belmont Stakes. Although his horse \"Parole\" finished fourth in the 1876 Kentucky Derby, it went on to race with considerable success both in the United States and in Europe. In the 19th century, shipping horses from New York to Louisville, Kentucky was a major undertaking and as the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes were both held in the New York City area in the period, neither of the Lorillard brothers entered horses again in the Kentucky Derby.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLorillard established Rancocas Stable, named for the New Jersey town where he owned a country house. He spent time in Paris and in England where, in 1881, his horse Iroquois became the first American-owned and bred horse to win a European classic race. Ridden by the champion English jockey Fred Archer, Iroquois won The Derby and then went on to capture the St. Leger Stakes as well. Lorillard had other successes in England, notably with the horse named for the actor David Garrick, which won the 1901 Chester Cup ridden by American jockey, Danny Maher.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Cary Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45784251728070,"sku":"37115","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0210\/6626\/files\/DSC_0001_0285adc0-a9c8-49ba-a83f-420a84782edf.jpg?v=1777310352","url":"https:\/\/thecarycollection.com\/products\/cherry-and-black-the-career-of-mr-pierre-lorillard-on-the-turf-1916-vosburgh-w-s","provider":"The Cary Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
