Tremont (horse)

Owned by the Dwyer Brothers Stable, who were notorious for over-racing their horses, all thirteen of Tremont's races came within a ten-week period.

[5] Just two days later, he overcame a poor start to win the Surf Stakes by three-quarters of a length while carrying a seven pound penalty.

[9] On June 26, the Dwyers won three races at Sheepshead Bay, including Tremont's six-length victory in the Great Post Stakes.

[10] The Dwyers were less fortunate on the closing day of the Sheepshead Bay meet, but still won the Good Bye Stakes with Tremont.

[11] The stable then relocated to Monmouth Park where, in what was possibly a warning of things to come, the Dwyers elected to run future star Hanover instead of Tremont in the Hopeful Stakes on July 3.

[14] Tremont's thirteenth consecutive victory came on August 7 in the Junior Champion Stakes, run at a distance of six furlongs at Monmouth Park in a driving rainstorm.

Tremont trailed behind a fast early pace set by the other two, then swept to the lead in the final quarter and pulled away to win in a "common canter" by six lengths.

[18] Although the Dwyers long held out hope for his recovery, they finally arranged for his sale in September 1887 for retirement to stud.
