In 1760, his great-grandfather founded P. Lorillard and Company in New York City to process tobacco, cigars, and snuff. Lorillard Tobacco Company remains the oldest tobacco company in the United States to this day. Lorillard graduated with a degree in medicine from the Yale Scientific School in 1862.[1] Thoroughbred horse racingGeorge Lorillard, like his brother Pierre, was a prominent racehorse owner in New York, New Jersey and Maryland. At his Long Island estate, he built a large stable and training track. Lorillard arranged to take in boys from the New York House of Refuge, who were given stable work and educated in a specially built schoolroom. The boys learned to ride horses and after a five-year apprenticeship were given an opportunity to become a professional jockey. Notable among them was Tom Costello, who won numerous important races, including three American Classics.[1] George Lorillard's racing stable was handled by trainer R. Wyndham Walden. Notably, they won the Preakness Stakes a record five straight years between 1878 and 1882; the Belmont Stakes in 1878, 1880, and 1881; and the Travers Stakes in 1878 and 1880. Among George Lorillard's best horses were Saunterer, Vanguard, Grenada, Tom Ochiltree, and Duke of Magenta.[1][2] In 1878, George Lorillard headed a group of investors which included David D. Withers and Gordon Bennett, Jr., who bought Monmouth Park Racetrack. Under Lorillard's management, they built a new racing facility on {{convert|660|acre|km2}} of land with the then-largest grandstand in the United States. Opened on July 4, 1890, the track flourished and became known as the "Newmarket of America."[1] Personal lifeIn 1882,[1] George Lorillard was married to Marie Louise La Farge (d. 1899),[3] the daughter of artist John La Farge, and the sister of Christopher Grant La Farge.[9] Marie was the former wife of Edward Whyte, whom she divorced before marrying Lorillard.[1] DeathGeorge Lorillard died in Nice, France in 1886, aged 42.[4] His funeral was held in Grace Church in New York City, on April 17.[5] After his death, Lorillard's widow married Count de Ágreda, becoming the Countess de Ágreda. After the Count's death in 1886, she married Leopold Morse (son of Leopold Morse), who changed his name to Leopold Morse de Ágreda.[6][7] LegacyLorillard owned a mansion on {{convert|800|acre|km2}} on Long Island, located north of the Montauk Highway on the west bank of the Connetquot River. In 1884, he sold much of this estate to William Bayard Cutting, who built the notable house called Westbrook on the land. Lorillard also maintained a winter home in St. Augustine, Florida.[1] Lorillard Avenue in The Bronx is named for him and his brother Pierre.[8] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite book|last1=Sowers|first1=Richard|title=The Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes: A Comprehensive History|date=2014|publisher=McFarland|isbn=9780786476985|pages=25–26|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iTJiAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA26|accessdate=17 November 2017|language=en}} 2. ^{{cite book|last1=Crickmore|first1=Henry G.|title=Krik's Guide to the Turf. {{!}} Part I {{!}} Record of Races Run in the United States in 1877, with Index|date=1878|publisher=H.G.
