An avid sportsman, Pierre Lorillard and his brother George were both involved in thoroughbred horse racing. Although Pierre Lorillard's 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. However, another horse owned by Pierre Lorillard name "Saxon" won the Belmont Stakes that year. In the 19th century, shipping horses from New York to Louisville, Kentucky was a major undertaking and because back then both the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes were both held in the New York City area, neither of the Lorillard brothers raced again in the Derby. Pierre Lorillard spent time in Paris, France 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, his horse won the Epsom Derby then went on to also capture the St. Leger Stakes. Lorillard had other successes in England including with the horse named for the actor "David Garrick" who won the 1901 Chester Cup ridden by American jockey, Danny Maher.
