nous trainers as James Rowe,

Greentree Stable. In the early

Greentree trainer. he retained
Lilly as his assistant.
In 1919 at Saratoga when H.

Man O'War In the Sanford

although Upset was from his
stable.
Recalls Great Match.
The following year saw the
great match between Man O'War
and John p. Grier, also exer-
cised by Lilly. in the Dwyer
Stakes at Aqueduct.
Before the race, Rowe said
John P. might win If he could
get out there in front and make
Big Red catch him. Well" and
Lilly smiled, I'VE all thought
Rowe must be getting a little
old. But he was right and with
a good smart jockey our horse
might have won because he had
only 108 pounds to 1876.
John P. got out there, and
finally, coming down the stretch.
Clarence Hummer had to go to
the whip on Man O'War. Eddie
Ambrose was riding John p. and
when he saw that. he got excited
and began whipping although
there was no need for it. John
P. Grier quit on him.
Mr.. Whitney was glad he
lost. because he hated to see a
great horse beaten by one he
knew wasn't as good. He was a
fine sportsman"
