Ill-health took him from school at nine, and like Kipling's Dingo Yellow Dog chased him to such good purpose that he became a professional sprinter.

Tom Treacy, famed for a game he played in Dublin with a bloody bandage wrapped around his head...
...park, complete to turf, a stretch of straightaway, white-painted railing, de luxe box stalls, striped water buckets. Here performed prize mounts of Manhattan's police, a local U. S. artillery post, and various racing clubs. As a special surprise to Mr. Widener, his favorite horse, the great sprinter Osmand, was led in, ridden by Jockey Mack Garner. Mr. Widener almost sobbed with joy. Most spectacular event of the evening was a hunt tableau in which three hunters, (one, Biltmore President John McEntee Bowman's prize-winning Over There) were ridden down the track by pink-coated riders...
